Beef Stir Fry with Noodles Recipe
Beef Stir Fry with Noodles is a savory dish combining thinly sliced sirloin, crisp vegetables like snap peas and bell pepper, and ramen noodles tossed in a cornstarch-thickened sauce made from beef broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. The noodles cook until just tender, then are mixed with stir-fried beef and a medley of vegetables, resulting in a flavorful, slightly sweet, and aromatic meal with varied textures.
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
- sesame seeds to serve
- green onions to serve
The sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil toasted
- 2 tablespoons honey 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.
