How to Make Asian Flank Steak Stir Fry

  1. Boil water in a pot. Once boiling add 8oz rice noodles (or 8oz angel hair pasta) and soak for 10 minutes.
  2. While noodles soak, whisk together in a small bowl: 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Set aside the sauce mixture.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas etc.) and 1/2 cup sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the same pan. Add 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until no longer pink.
  7. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan with the beef.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  10. Drain the noodles thoroughly.
  11. Add the drained noodles and the reserved vegetables to the pan with the beef and sauce.
  12. Toss everything together until heated through.
  13. Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds before serving.
