Thick, chewy noodles, crisp veggies, and juicy, tender, Sirloin Steak make these Garlic-Sesame Beef Noodle Bowls a weeknight classic everyone will look forward to!

Garlic-Sesame Beef Noodle Bowl

lb. beef Sirloin Steak

bell pepper, any color, diced

zucchini, diced

carrots

snap peas (fresh

garlic (peeled and minced)

tsp ginger

tsp toasted sesame oil

tamari (can sub with soy sauce)

brown sugar

tbsp honey

beef

tsp sesame seeds

tsp chili flakes (optional)

Place Sirloin Steak in the freezer for 1-2 hours prior to slicing (this helps make slicing thin, even pieces easier).

In a medium saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. Bring mixture to a light simmer, for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar is fully dissolved and sauce is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove Sirloin Steak from freezer. Trim visible fat off of steak. Slice steak, against the grain, into thin ¼&quot; strips.

Pour 3/4 of marinade over beef, mixing to ensure an even coating. Reserve remaining 1/4 marinade for a drizzling sauce at the end. Place beef into the fridge while vegetables are being prepared.

Wash, dice, and chop vegetables. If desired, swap fresh vegetables out for your favorite frozen blend.

Heat a cast iron skillet and a splash of avocado oil over medium high heat. While pan preheats, drain excess marinade from beef. This will help reduce buildup of caramelized sauce in the pan. Cook strips for 2-3 minutes, each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

While beef cooks, boil a pot of water and cook your preferred noodles.

Now that all components are prepared, it&#39;s time to build your bowls! Just prior to serving add a final drizzle of your Garlic-Sesame Sauce. Enjoy!

Sesame beef is a Chinese dish of crispy beef, tossed in a lightly sweet sauce with balanced acidity, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

Sesame Beef

beef flank steak ((sliced against the grain into ¼-inch/6mm slices))

Shaoxing wine

oyster sauce

baking soda

brown sugar ((light

white pepper

sesame seeds

neutral oil ((such as canola or vegetable oil))

garlic ((chopped))

scallions ((chopped))

Combine the sliced beef with the water, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and baking soda. Stir well, and set aside to marinate for 1 hour. You can also do this the night before. (For convenience—it doesn’t make a significant difference in flavor.)

Marinate the beef:

In a medium bowl or measuring cup with a pour spout, stir together the hot water, light brown sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and white pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the sauce:

In a shallow dish, stir together the cornstarch and sesame seeds. Dredge the beef slices in this mixture until thoroughly coated. Give each slice a gentle shake to release excess cornstarch (grab a few at a time to expedite the process).

Heat the neutral oil in the wok or pan over medium-high heat. When a piece of beef sizzles in the oil (just before the oil begins to smoke), it’s ready for frying. Place the beef slices in the wok/pan in an even layer. Shallow-fry for 1 minute on each side to achieve a crusty coating, and transfer to a plate or sheet pan in one layer. Don’t pile the pieces on top of each other; you want the beef to stay crispy.

Dredge and sear the beef:

Let the particles in the oil settle, then drain the oil into a heat-proof bowl, leaving behind any sediment. Wipe the wok/pan clean with a paper towel. Add a tablespoon of oil back to the wok over medium heat, and add the chopped garlic. Cook for 15 seconds.

Then add the sauce mixture. Stir the sauce to deglaze the pan and bring it up to a simmer. Then add the scallions.

Add the cornstarch slurry mixture, and stir until the sauce thickens just enough to coat a spoon. You can also add a teaspoon or two of hot water to thin out the sauce if it looks too thick for your liking. Add the beef, and toss until the pieces are coated in sauce. Transfer to a plate and serve with lots of rice!

Finish the dish:
