Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces noodles (any type, such as egg noodles or rice noodles)
- 1 pound beef (sliced thinly; look for Halal-certified options)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For sautéing the beef
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli) For added nutrition
- Green onions (for garnish) Optional garnish for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, remembering to save a little pasta water for later use.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef, searing it for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In that same skillet, add a touch more vegetable oil if necessary, and toss in your chosen vegetables. Sauté for around 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and stir for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the beef to the skillet, and pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well, ensuring everything is coated. If it seems a bit dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Finally, add the noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well combined with the beef and veggies.
- Plate up the delicious concoction and finish with green onions sprinkled on top. Enjoy your homemade Garlic Soy Beef Noodles!
Notes
For substitutions, swap out the beef for thinly sliced chicken or shrimp. Use any vegetables you have on hand and be careful not to overcook them.
