Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 4 ounces whole wheat linguine or chow mein noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything.
  6. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Feel free to substitute with your favorite vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or cabbage.
  • Prepare the vegetables and sauce ahead of time to make dinner even quicker.
