Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 packs (7 oz each) pre-cooked udon noodles
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then sear the beef in a single layer for 1 minute without moving, stir-fry another 1-2 minutes until browned. Remove to a plate.
  2. In the same pan, add remaining oil, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry 3 minutes, then add bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Cook 1 minute more.
  3. Loosen udon noodles under warm water and add to the pan with soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Toss to coat, pour in cornstarch slurry, and stir-fry 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Return beef to the pan.
  4. Remove from heat, drizzle sesame oil, and toss with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the noodles seem dry while tossing, add a small splash of water. The sauce thickens quickly, so keep the heat high and your hands moving. Any leftover stir fry can be reheated in a skillet with a tablespoon of water to revive the texture.
