Ingredients

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sake or dry sherry
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

Stir Fry

  • 500 g (1lb 2oz) Denver, sirloin (porterhouse) or skirt/flank steak, sliced into strips against the grain
  • 200 g (7oz) medium dried egg noodles
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1½ tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 1 small onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
  • 5 spring onions (scallions), sliced into thin strips

To Serve

  • ¼ teaspoon chilli (red pepper) flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sake or dry sherry, 3 tablespoons mirin, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons minced ginger, 3 cloves of peeled and minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon white pepper. Mix thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and blend the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Place the sliced beef into another bowl, add one-third of the prepared marinade, and stir well to coat the meat evenly. Cover the bowl and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
  3. Cook the Noodles: While marinating the beef, cook the dried egg noodles according to the package instructions, typically boiling them for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water until fully cooled. Toss the cooled noodles with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and leave them in the colander until needed.
  4. Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a wok over high heat until very hot. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated beef slices (discard remaining marinade used on the beef) into the wok in two batches. Stir-fry each batch for 2 to 3 minutes until the beef is just cooked but still tender. Transfer the cooked beef to a clean bowl to keep warm.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon sunflower oil to the wok and stir-fry the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and carrot for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they just start to soften while retaining some crunch.
  6. Add Sauce and Noodles: Pour in the reserved marinade sauce into the wok and bring it to a boil, allowing it to bubble and slightly thicken. Then add the prepared noodles and toss vigorously with tongs for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and fully coated with the sauce.
  7. Combine Beef and Spring Onions: Add the cooked beef and sliced spring onions to the wok. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to reheat the beef and soften the spring onions slightly.
  8. Serve: Divide the Teriyaki Beef Noodles among serving bowls and sprinkle each serving with ¼ teaspoon chili flakes and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for a flavorful finishing touch. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor and tenderness.
  • Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your heat preference.
  • Use fresh vegetables of your choice to customize the stir fry.
  • This dish works well using other thinly sliced beef cuts like ribeye or rump steak.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauces with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
