Quick and Easy Beef Noodle Stir Fry
Description
The recipe starts by marinating sliced beef in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and spices to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. The beef is then stir-fried with fresh vegetables like carrots, snow peas, and mushrooms, adding crunch and earthiness.
A sauce made by adding beef broth thickened with cornstarch is combined with the stir-fry to coat the ingredients lightly. Cooked ramen noodles are stirred in last, soaking up the savory sauce and binding the components together into a cohesive dish.
Garnishing with sesame seeds and chopped green onions adds nuttiness and brightness when serving. This dish works well for quickly transforming simple ingredients into a hearty, flavorful meal that combines tender meat and varied vegetable textures.
For extra heat, red pepper flakes or sriracha can be added during marinading or cooking, allowing customization of the spice level.
Ingredients
- 1-1 ½ pounds steak or thinly sliced flank or skirt steak, for stir fry
- ⅓ cup soy sauce for regular soy sauce use 1/4 cup, reduced sodium
- 2 tablespoons corn starch divided
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup carrots julienned
- ½ cup mushroom sliced
- 1 cup snow peas
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 1 package ramen noodles boiled until tender, drained, flavor packet discarded
- green onion for garnish, optional, chopped
- sesame seeds for garnish, optional, chopped
Instructions
- Place steak in a large resealable bag. Whisk together soy sauce, 1 tablespoon corn starch, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sesame oil. Add sauce to the bag, press out any excess air, and seal. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle a large pan or skillet over medium heat with the vegetable oil. Use tongs or a fork to transfer beef strips to the pan (do not discard marinade in the bag!). Add carrots, snow peas, and mushrooms to the pan. Saute for 4-6 minutes until browned.
- Add marinade from the bag to the pan. Bring to a boil. Whisk remaining tablespoon of corn starch into the beef broth and stir into the pan until sauce thickens. Reduce to a low simmer.
- Stir in cooked noodles, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired and serve.
Notes
- Adjust the spice by adding crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha as desired.
- Marinate the beef for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Use freshly cooked ramen noodles, discarding the flavor packet for best results.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables.
