Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 ounces rice noodles or lo mein noodles
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles or lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain well and set aside to prevent them from sticking.
- Stir-fry Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin or flank steak and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the beef is browned but still tender. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrots, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp, maintaining their bright color and texture.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and optional red pepper flakes to create a flavorful sauce mixture.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
- Add Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well combined with the sauce, beef, and vegetables.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and serve the hoisin beef noodles garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder dish.
- Use lo mein noodles if you prefer a chewier texture; rice noodles will be softer.
- To reduce sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce and adjust hoisin sauce quantities accordingly.
- Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to retain their crunch and nutritional value.
