Ingredients

• 12 ounces lean beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 12 ounces fresh rice noodles
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips and place in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pour marinade over the beef strips, mixing well to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

To the same skillet, add another tablespoon of canola oil if needed, then add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir-fry until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Add the fresh rice noodles and beef back to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.

Step 9

Add the bean sprouts and sesame oil, continuing to stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes until all ingredients are heated through.

Step 10

Season with ground black pepper and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy Beef Chow Fun!
