Beef Stir Fry with Noodles Recipe
Description
This Beef Stir Fry with Noodles starts by cooking ramen noodles slightly less than package directions so they finish cooking in the sauce, preventing overcooking. The sauce is prepared by mixing cornstarch with beef broth and then adding soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, and garlic for balance of savory, sweet, and aromatic components.
Thinly sliced sirloin steak is seared in batches to develop browning without overcrowding. The vegetables – snap peas, mushrooms, carrots, red pepper, and onion – are stir-fried until just beginning to soften, preserving texture and brightness. The seared beef and noodles are returned to the pan with the sauce, which is brought to a boil to thicken, coating all ingredients evenly and marrying flavors.
The stir fry offers a contrast between the tender beef, crisp vegetables, and slightly chewy noodles, seasoned with a sauce that harmonizes sweet and savory notes. Sesame seeds and green onions garnish can be added for additional flavor and color.
Ingredients
The stir fry
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb beef top sirloin thinly sliced across the grain
- 2 cups snap peas cut in half if large
- 2 cups mushroom sliced
- 2 medium carrot thinly sliced
- 1 medium red pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion chopped
- green onions to serve
- sesame seeds to serve
The sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey toasted
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil toasted
- 2 tablespoons ginger minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the ramen and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions – the noodles will cook more in the sauce. Drain the noodles and rinse them well under cold water.
- While the water is heating, make the sauce. Put the cornstarch into a bowl or 2-cup measuring cup and add a splash of the beef broth. Mix until it's combined and then add the remaining sauce ingredients and mix once more.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Work in two batches so you don't crowd the pan. Add half of the beef and sear it until it begins to brown then remove it from the pan. Sear the other half of the beef then remove it.
- Add the snap peas, mushrooms, carrots, pepper, and onion and stir fry until the veggies begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles and beef to the pan. Give the sauce a quick stir then pour it into the pan. Let it come to a boil to thicken the sauce then mix everything together. Serve with some green onions and sesame seeds over the top.
