Delicious Beef Chow Fun Recipe for a Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 pound beef flank steak (sliced thinly against the grain)
  • 8 ounces wide rice noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Marinate the beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil for at least 30 minutes.

    Cut the beef against the grain for tenderness.
  2. Cook the Noodles

    If using dried rice noodles, cook them according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Fresh noodles require less cooking time.
  3. Stir-fry the Beef

    Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Add Vegetables

    Add garlic, bell pepper, and green onions to the beef, stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes.

    Add vegetables based on your preference for crunchiness.
  5. Combine Noodles

    Add the cooked noodles and bean sprouts to the mixture. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Use tongs for even distribution of ingredients.
