Ingredients
  

For the Beef & Noodles:

  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
  • 8 oz rice noodles or spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp oil sesame or vegetable
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Sticky Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water slurry

Instructions
 

  • Prep Ingredients: Slice beef into thin strips (freezing for 20 minutes helps!). Chop veggies. Whisk sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Cook Beef: Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add beef in a single layer, sear for 1 minute without stirring, then flip and cook another minute. Remove from the pan.
  • Cook Veggies: In the same pan, sauté onions and peppers until softened (2–3 minutes). Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Cook Noodles: Prepare noodles according to package instructions, then drain.
  • Combine Everything: Add beef back to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss in the cooked noodles. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything.
  • Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Want more sauce? Double the sauce ingredients!
  • Make it spicy: Add extra sriracha or chili flakes.
  • Noodles stuck together? Rinse under cold water and toss with a little oil.
  • Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water.
