Instructions

1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup and set aside in a cool place.

2. Bring salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Place plastic wrap over the beef and pound it with a meat mallet to tenderize. Slice thinly against the grain, pat dry, and season with the meat seasoning mixture.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 3-4 minutes until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add broccoli, carrots, onion, snap peas, and mushrooms. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes. Add red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

6. Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil. Let it thicken, then reduce heat to medium-low.

7. Return the beef and any juices to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together until heated through.

8. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

Notes

For best results, use freshly sliced beef and stir fry in batches to ensure proper browning. Noodles can be swapped with thin spaghetti or rice noodles. Adjust spice level to taste.
