→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
02 - 1/4 cup cornstarch
03 - 8 oz egg noodles or lo mein noodles
04 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
07 - 1 small onion, sliced
08 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
09 - 1 cup broccoli florets
10 - 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
11 - 1/4 cup sliced green onions

→ Teriyaki Sauce

12 - 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
13 - 1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
14 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
15 - 2 tsp sesame oil
16 - 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1/4 cup cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
02 - Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Working in batches, stir fry the beef until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Stir fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add the onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Pour into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
06 - Add the beef and noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until well coated in the teriyaki sauce.
07 - Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Slice the beef against the grain for the most tender texture.
02 - Coating the beef in cornstarch helps it brown nicely and stay juicy.
03 - Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables - sugar snap peas, mushrooms, and zucchini also work well.
04 - For extra flavor, marinate the beef in 1/3 of the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
