Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef and Noodles:
- 1½ lb flank steak
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 oz ramen noodles
- 3 green onions, chopped
For the Sauce:
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- ¾ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
- 1¼ cup low sodium or no sodium chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and toss in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches until browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the green bell pepper until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside with the beef.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Add the cooked beef and bell peppers back into the skillet with the sauce. Toss in the cooked noodles and mix until everything is well coated.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve hot.
Notes
- Slice the steak thinly for the best texture and quicker cooking.
- Cook beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure it gets crispy.
- Fresh ramen noodles offer a chewier, more authentic texture.
