Ingredients

  • 8oz egg noodles(cooked according to package directions)
  • 1lb beef sirloin(very thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil(divided)
  • 3 pcs garlic(minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger(fresh, minced)
  • 1 pc red bell pepper(thinly sliced)
  • 1 pc green bell pepper(thinly sliced)
  • 4 pcs scallions(chopped, white and green parts separated)
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp(more for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

Marinate the Beef

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef sirloin with 2 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Set aside.

Stir-fry the Ingredients

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the wok. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the wok. Add the cooked egg noodles, the prepared sauce, and the chili crisp. Toss everything together to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the green parts of the scallions. Toss one final time.

Tips

  • Slice the beef very thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Marinating helps tenderize and flavor the meat.
  • Do not overcrowd the wok when stir-frying the beef. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
  • Garnish with extra chili crisp and chopped scallions for added texture, heat, and visual appeal.
