SERVES

Ingredients
400g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
2 x 200g pre-cooked packets udon noodles
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
1 bunch spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
Stir-fry Sauce:
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp dark sweet soy sauce
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
½ cup water
Steps
-
Start by preparing the beef. Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and dust with cornflour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Set aside.
-
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the udon noodles. Allow them to soften in the water for 2 minutes. Then use tongs to gently loosen them. As soon as the noodles come apart, drain and rinse under running water to cool them and stop them cooking further. Set aside for later.
-
In a large wok or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the beef slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary, then stir-fry the onion, capsicum, spring onions, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
-
Return the beef to the pan and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to combine, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.
-
Serve the Mongolian Beef Noodles immediately, garnished with extra spring onions or sesame seeds if desired.
