Beef and Noodles Recipe
This quick stir fry noodles recipe can be tossed together in a flash on any busy weeknight! Mix it up with your favorite fresh veggies or swap out the meat for chicken or pork!
Equipment
- Small Blender or small bowl
Ingredients
Stir Fry Sauce
- ½ cup coconut aminos*
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar or fresh lime juice to taste
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 2 tsp sriracha optional
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 Tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch**
- 1 tsp fish sauce optional
- ½ tsp sea salt to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
Beef and Noodles
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 8 ounces NY Strip Steak cut into slices***
- ½ small yellow onion sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- 1 small crown broccoli chopped
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a small blender and blend to combine. As an alternative, you can whisk all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. If you do so, peel and mince the garlic and fresh ginger. Set aside until ready to use.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes before adding the sliced steak and onions. Use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to spread the beef and onions into a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped broccoli and bell peppers and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until softened but still al dente. If at any point the vegetables are cooking too quickly, reduce to medium heat.
- While stir frying the beef and vegetables, heat a large pot of water to boiling on the stove top to cook the rice noodles. Cook rice noodles for 6-8 minutes, or follow the time indication on the package instructions. When the noodles have finished cooking drain them into a colander.
- Add the cooked noodles, green onions, and sauce to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until much of the sauce has been absorbed. This goes quickly!
- Taste the noodles for flavor and add sea salt and black pepper to your personal taste. Serve beef and noodles immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
*Replace the coconut aminos with ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos + 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup or brown sugar if you’d prefer. Because coconut aminos are naturally sweet, we need to add a sweetener when replacing it with a soy based sauce.
** Use corn starch, arrowroot starch, all-purpose flour, or gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of tapioca flour if you’d prefer.
*** The kind of steak doesn’t matter as long as you like it! Use boneless ribeye, top sirloin steak, or filet mignon. I recommend avoiding tougher cuts of beef like flank steak for the best results.
