Instructions

Prep Beef & Sauce: Thinly slice flank steak against the grain. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, cornstarch, and black pepper. Marinate beef in half of this sauce for 15 minutes.
Boil Noodles & Sauté: Boil egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain well. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Sauté bell pepper, onion, and broccoli until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove veggies from the pan.
Sear Beef: Add remaining vegetable oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated beef in batches until nicely browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan for a good sear. Remove beef and set aside.
Simmer Sticky Sauce: Return the seared beef and cooked vegetables to the skillet. Pour in the remaining sauce mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes wonderfully glossy. This creates the signature Sticky Beef Noodles coating.
Toss Noodles: Add the drained, cooked egg noodles directly into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Toss everything gently to ensure the noodles are fully coated in that incredible sticky sauce. This completes your delicious Sticky Beef Noodles.
Garnish & Serve: Transfer your Ultimate Sticky Beef Noodles to individual bowls. Garnish generously with freshly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy this truly satisfying meal.

Notes

Sear beef in batches to prevent steaming and ensure a beautiful crust.

Store Sticky Beef Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak, sliced thinly against the grain for tenderness.

Serve warm, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, alongside a light side salad.

Prep sauce up to 3 days ahead and chop vegetables 1-2 days in advance for faster assembly.

For extra tender beef, velvet slices with egg white and cornstarch before searing.
