Ingredients:

For the Beef:

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sauce:

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup water or beef broth

For the Noodles:

8 oz noodles (udon, ramen, or linguine)

Additional Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef:
- In a bowl, combine thinly sliced beef, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and water or beef broth. Set aside.
Cook the Noodles:
- Cook noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, allowing it to sear and brown without stirring for about 1-2 minutes. Then stir-fry until nearly cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté onion and red bell pepper until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine Ingredients:
- Return the beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened slightly.
Add Noodles:
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce and ingredients are evenly distributed.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips:

For extra spice, add more chili garlic sauce or a few slices of fresh chili pepper.
If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of brown sugar.
