Ingredients

• 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 250 grams egg noodles
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 units garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 unit carrot (julienned)
• 1 unit bell pepper (sliced)
• 2 units green onions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 125 milliliters water or beef broth
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the slices into a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, remaining cornstarch, sesame oil, and water or beef broth to create a sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, and pour in the sauce. Stir well to combine and let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Turn off the heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
