Garlic Sesame Beef Noodles Recipe
Garlic Sesame Beef Noodles Recipe
I just love trying out new stir fries. I’ve always been a fan but shortly after I first started making them I met and married my stir fry hating husband and all that came to an end. But now that we have four children and he works shift work, I am able to enjoy them again! Yay!
This recipe for garlic sesame beef noodles has to be one of the very best we’ve tried. It’s packed with loads of flavour and lots of vegetables too. These Chinese egg noodles are the very best and everyone loves them so I buy them in big packets from the supermarket.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this awesome meal.
A packet of sizzle steaks – I find that it’s just easier to buy a packet of these and cut them up than it is to try and find some beef stir fry strips. It probably works out cheaper too. You’ll also need some olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, brown sugar, broccoli, capsicum, shallots, garlic, ginger, carrot, sesame seeds and the aforementioned egg noodles.
You may also need some sambal oelek, which I added to my shopping list and duly purchased before realising that it was pretty much pure chillies. As I was serving children, I left it out. You can too if you like.
Make sure you cut everything up and prepare your veggies before you start cooking, as you don’t want to be madly chopping carrots at the last minute. Mix your sauce together and cook the noodles all ready to go.
Then it’s just a matter of putting it all together – cook the beef in a frying pan or wok, then add the vegetables and fry for a few minutes. Then add the cooked noodles and the sauce and stir to combine and heat through. Done! It’s as simple as that.
Garnish with shallots and sesame seeds and you’ve got a quick, easy and delicious beef noodle dinner on the table in under half an hour.
