Instructions

Marinate the Beef
Toss the beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Cook the Noodles
Cook according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch.

Stir-Fry the Beef
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Stir fry broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds.
Combine Everything
Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sticky sauce and cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Add Noodles & Serve
Toss in the noodles and mix until evenly coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot!

Tips for Success

Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Don’t overcook the beef—quick searing keeps it tender.

Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
Swap in chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a fun variation.

Storage

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
