Ingredients

8 oz rice noodles

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 green onions, chopped (whites and greens separated)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Rice Noodles: Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Prepare the Beef Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until just browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary and toss in the chopped white parts of the green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then add the cooked rice noodles. Toss everything together, making sure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Finishing Touch: Remove from heat and stir in the green onion greens. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve: Plate the dish, garnishing with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your delicious Mongolian Beef Noodles hot!
