Mongolian Beef Noodle

Tender flank steak, bell peppers, and silky ramen noodles in a rich sauce make up my Mongolian Beef Noodles. This recipe shows what happens when simple, quality ingredients are thoughtfully prepared—each bite is better than the last. 

– 1½ pound flank steak – ¼ cup cornstarch – ¼ cup vegetable oil – 1 green bell pepper – 8 ounce ramen noodles  – 3 green onion – 2 tablespoon sesame oil – ¾ cup soy sauce  – ⅔ cup brown sugar – 1¼ cup chicken broth – 4 cloves garlic  – ¼ teaspoon red pepper flake

Ingredient

Direction

Cut the flank steak against the grain into thin, small pieces. Place the beef and the starch in a large ziploc bag.

1

Shut the ziploc bag and give it a good shake to ensure that all the pieces are well coated with cornflour. Heat the oil in a skillet that is nonstick.

2

Cook beef until browned in hot oil. Because you don't want the steak pieces to stick, it takes 2–3 batches.

3

Add more oil if needed after the first batch. Remove beef from skillet to plate and drain oil.

Sauté the bell pepper in the skillet for a few minutes until soft. Set the pepper aside on a plate from the skillet.

Stir and cook until sauce slightly thickens and reduces by approximately 25% over medium heat.

Since you need more sauce for the noodles, you don't want to reduce it too much. Meanwhile, prepare the ramen noodles as directed on the package.

Add the sauce back to the skillet along with the steak and bell pepper. The sauce took about ten minutes to reduce and thicken.
