A bowl of wide, flat noodles mixed with seasoned beef strips, garnished with chopped green onions. Two wooden chopsticks are resting on the edge of the bowl. The dish appears flavorful and well-presented.

Sesame Ginger Beef and Noodles

Fresh noodles are perfect for quick, one-skillet meals. They cook fast in a skillet with a bit of water or other cooking liquid, rather than requiring a separate pot. Plus, they absorb flavors beautifully, like the oyster sauce, ginger, and sesame oil in this dish.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces wheat noodles fresh, Chinese
  • 1 pound flank steak cut against the grain into thin strips
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger fresh, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce divided
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce divided
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil plus;
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil divided
  • 3 teaspoons sugar divided
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch whisked with 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar until well combined. Add the meat and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the noodles, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to prevent sticking, until the liquid is absorbed and the noodles are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the noodles to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet along with the garlic and ginger. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the marinated meat to the skillet, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth, oyster sauce, remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar. Bring to a boil, then add the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute regular spaghetti for the Chinese wheat noodles.
