Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Aromatics:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Instructions
- Blend the beef sirloin with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, minced garlic, and ginger in a mixing container. Allow the meat to absorb flavors for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare the noodles according to package guidelines, ensuring they are al dente. Drain and reserve.
- Craft the sauce by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and beef broth in a separate vessel.
- Fire up a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil until it shimmers.
- Introduce the marinated beef into the hot pan, searing until edges caramelize and meat achieves a rich brown color. Transfer cooked meat to a holding plate.
- In the same pan, toss bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables reach crisp-tender consistency.
- Incorporate green onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir rapidly for an additional 60 seconds to release aromatic flavors.
- Reunite the seared beef with the vegetable medley, then cascade the prepared sauce over the mixture. Thoroughly integrate ingredients.
- Fold in the cooked noodles, ensuring each strand gets coated with the savory sauce. Heat through completely.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal by sprinkling sesame seeds and freshly chopped cilantro before serving hot.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by letting beef marinate longer, ideally 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper taste penetration.
- Substitute beef with tofu or chicken for dietary variations, adjusting cooking time accordingly to prevent overcooking.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce to make the recipe completely gluten-free, ensuring all ingredients meet dietary restrictions.
- Choose rice noodles or zucchini noodles as low-carb alternatives to traditional wheat noodles for a lighter meal option.
