The most versatile and easiest beef noodle stir-fry recipe is here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star of this noodle dish, apart from the savory stir-fry sauce, is the black pepper beef steak slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beef noodle stir fry is my favorite Chinese food. Today’s recipe has incorporated some western elements since I’m going to use pepper steak as the main ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This noodle is a delicious meal you can prepare within 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A complete meal with protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and green vegetables in one dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is highly adaptive. You can use any vegetable of your choice, a great way to use up all the leftovers in your fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get into the details of how to prepare the beef noodle stir fry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Marinate the beef and season with black pepper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. You can use any cut of beef suitable for beef steak – sirloin steak, flank steak, or topside. Cut the beef across the grain into thin strips to ensure you get tender beef. I always like to cut the beef when it is in a half-frozen state, as it is so much easier to slice it thinly.<\/li>
  2. The gist is to marinate and season it with freshly ground black pepper, salt, cornstarch, and some vegetable oil.<\/li>
  3. Marinate the beef for fifteen minutes before stir-frying.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/strong>: You can substitute the beef with chicken breast to make a chicken noodle stir fry. Since it is a very versatile recipe, you can even substitute beef steak with ground beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Pick the noodles of your choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can use any noodles of your choice. My choice is Chinese egg noodles<\/a>, but rice noodles, ramen, udon noodles<\/a>, and spaghetti are good alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please follow the package directions to cook the noodles if you use dry noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Use crunchy vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The vegetables used in this recipe are bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, carrots, baby corn, and some shitake mushrooms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I prefer mixing green and red bell pepper to create a more colorful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bok choy is also an excellent alternative to broccoli florets. Another popular ingredient we use in Malaysia is bean sprouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Otherwise, use any available vegetables. It is the best way to clean up your refrigerator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Prepare the stir-fry sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mix the oyster sauce<\/a>, light soy sauce<\/a>, dark soy sauce<\/a>, sugar, and ground black pepper withtwo2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may also add some hoisin sauce to accentuate the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This sauce is relatively easy to make and suitable for most stir-fry recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. How to prepare beef noodle stir-fry, step-by-step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    a. Prepare the beef, vegetables, and the sauce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    1. Cut the beef into thin slices across the grain. It is easier to cut if the beef is in a half-frozen state.<\/li>
    2. Place the beef in a large bowl and season with salt, light soy sauce, vegetable oil, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.<\/li>
    3. Cut the bell peppers and carrot into julienne and the baby corn on the bias into half.<\/li>
    4. Prepare the coarsely chopped garlic, fresh ginger, and white section of the spring onion.<\/li>
    5. Soak the dry shiitake mushrooms in water for two hours. Cut the mushroom into strips when the mushrooms are fully hydrated.<\/li>
    6. Keep the water used to soak the mushroom aside to cook the noodles later.<\/li>
    7. Prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing the oyster, light soy, dark soy, a small amount of brown sugar, and ground black pepper.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      b. Stir-fry the beef and vegetables separately<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      1. Heat some oil in a frying pan or a well-seasoned cast iron wok.<\/a><\/li>
      2. Stir-fry the beef slices over medium heat until cooked on both sides. Remove the beef and keep the remaining oil in the wok.<\/li>
      3. Saute the minced garlic, ginger, and white section of the spring onions with the oil until aromatic.<\/li>
      4. Add the vegetables you have chosen to the wok and continue to stir-fry until they become crisp-tender. The order of adding the vegetables is vital because these vegetables require different times to cook through. I would start by stir-frying the carrots and broccoli, which requires a longer time to cook, followed by the snow peas, baby corn, and bell pepper. Add a splash of water if you find that it is too dry.<\/li>
      5. You can include the shiitake mushroom anytime during the stir-frying process since they are already softened.<\/li>
      6. Before adding the noodles to the wok, add the stir-fry sauce (Ingredient D in the recipe) and combine well.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        c. Stir-fry with the noodles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        1. Add the cooked noodles to the wok.<\/li>
        2. Stir-fry over medium-high heat to combine with other ingredients.<\/li>
        3. Lastly, add the sesame oil<\/a> plus a splash of rice wine<\/a>. Continue stir-flying over high heat for another 10 seconds, and it is ready to serve.<\/li>
        4. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and green onions on top before serving. (optional)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
