Save Tender strips of beef stir-fried with crisp vegetables and tossed in a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce, served over noodles for a satisfying Asian-inspired meal.
I first made this noodle bowl for my family after a busy weekday and it was a hit. The balance of sweet and savory flavors and the vibrant vegetables made it a recipe we keep coming back to.
Ingredients
- Beef: 400 g (14 oz) flank steak, thinly sliced; 1 tbsp cornstarch; 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Vegetables: 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1 cup (150 g) sugar snap peas, trimmed; 2 carrots, julienned; 2 green onions, sliced
- Noodles: 300 g (10 oz) egg noodles or soba noodles
- Teriyaki Sauce: 60 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce; 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar; 2 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar; 1 tbsp sesame oil; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated; 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
- Garnish: 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds; Extra sliced green onions
Instructions
- Marinate the beef:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Mix well and set aside while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the noodles:
- Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Stir-fry the beef:
- Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add a little oil and stir-fry the marinated beef in batches until browned and just cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables:
- In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Combine:
- Return the beef to the wok, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and add the cooked noodles. Toss everything together over medium heat until well combined and heated through.
- Serve:
- Divide among bowls, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
