Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Marinade
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Garnish
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Heat the skillet and oil: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil, allowing it to warm until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked through.
- Add vegetables and garlic: Incorporate the minced garlic, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot into the skillet. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Toss with sauces and noodles: Pour in hoisin sauce and soy sauce, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly. Add the cooked noodles and toss well to combine all flavors thoroughly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the hoisin beef noodles warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute rice noodles with egg noodles or even thin spaghetti if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of hoisin and soy sauce to taste for a sweeter or saltier dish.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers.
- Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
