Instructions

  • Marinate the Beef

    • In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Cook the Noodles

    • Add beef in a single layer, sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
    • Add bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  • Combine Everything

    • Return beef to the pan, then pour in the prepared sauce. Toss to coat.
    • Add cooked noodles and mix until evenly coated and heated through.
  • Garnish & Serve

    • Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
