Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 14 oz udon noodles (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 lb beef (flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets or snow peas
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for beef coating)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Optional: red pepper flakes or chili oil for heat
Instructions
- If using frozen udon noodles, cook according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Toss sliced beef with cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and a dash of sesame oil. Let marinate briefly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the beef until browned and just cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry onion and garlic for 1 minute, then add vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
- Return beef to the pan and add cooked udon noodles.
- Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir-fry everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2–3 minutes.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and toss gently. Garnish with green onions and optional chili oil or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef for faster cooking and tenderness.
- Swap in any vegetables you like—mushrooms, spinach, or bok choy work well.
- To make it gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles and sauces.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of broth to loosen noodles.
- Top with a fried egg for added richness.
