Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Fresh or dried noodles Egg noodles work great
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 inch Ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes optional for spicy mongolian noodles
  • 1/4 cup Water or beef broth
  • 2 green onions Sliced for garnish
  • Sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Slice the flank steak against the grain for extra tenderness.
  2. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet or wok, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef in batches until browned, then set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, garlic, and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, water or broth, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer for a minute to thicken.
  7. Return the beef to the skillet and toss in the sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
  8. Add the noodles to the skillet and toss everything together. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, swap the beef for tofu or mushrooms. If you can't find egg noodles, try using udon or even spaghetti. Consider marinating the beef in cornstarch and soy sauce before searing for a velvety texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently with a splash of water for best results. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
