Ingredients
  

Beef and Noodles
  • 1.5 lb flank steak thinly sliced
  • 8 oz wide rice noodles dried
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for coating
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for searing
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
Sticky Sauce
  • 0.5 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce tamari compatible
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp ginger fresh grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil toasted
Garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds toasted

Equipment

  • Large Wok Or Skillet
  • Small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Pot For Noodles
  • tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a bowl until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create the sauce.
Searing and Assembly
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  2. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply browned and crispy on the edges.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the beef and let it simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing vigorously with tongs to ensure every strand is coated in the sticky sauce.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately while piping hot.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the beef to get that perfect sear. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
