A quick and easy savory sticky beef noodles recipe with fresh veggies, perfect for weeknight dinners. Tender beef coated in a glossy umami-rich sauce combined with crunchy garden-fresh vegetables and noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 ounces (225g) egg noodles or chow mein noodles (rice noodles can be substituted)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded carrots
  • 1 cup (90g) snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Slice beef thinly against the grain. Shred carrots, trim snap peas, slice bell pepper and green onions. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente (5-7 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water, toss with 1 teaspoon oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and brown without stirring for 2 minutes. Stir and cook until mostly cooked through but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry carrots, snap peas, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  6. Return beef to the pan with veggies. Pour in sauce and toss to coat. Add cooked noodles and gently mix to combine, letting noodles soak up the sauce and become glossy and sticky.
  7. Sprinkle sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds or cilantro on top. Toss once more and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef; cook in batches if needed. Rinse noodles after boiling to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Stir-fry veggies on high heat for a short time to keep them crisp. Be gentle when mixing noodles with sauce to keep noodles intact. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos and gluten-free noodles. For vegetarian, substitute beef with firm tofu or tempeh.
