How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the steps to create these delicious Beef Noodles Asian style:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 15-30 minutes. This step is crucial for tenderizing the beef and infusing it with flavor!
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Set this delicious sauce aside; it’s going to be the star of the show!
3. Cook the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and toss them with a little oil to prevent sticking. This is a great time to think about how you can incorporate these noodles into other noodle beef recipes!
4. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside. The aroma will be irresistible!
5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, stir-fry the bell pepper and broccoli for 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp. Return the beef to the pan and add the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to thicken the sauce. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy your creation!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Sticky Beef Noodles turn out perfectly every time:

• Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or carrots for a colorful dish.
• If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Make sure your skillet or wok is hot enough before adding the beef to get that perfect sear.
• For a creamy twist, try adding a splash of cream to the sauce for a creamy garlic pasta vibe!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can marinate the beef and chop the vegetables a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the noodles from drying out. This dish is perfect for meal prep and makes for great 30-minute meals throughout the week!
