Description
This Korean Beef Noodles recipe is a delightful fusion of savory marinated beef, chewy noodles, and vibrant vegetables, all with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
Ingredients
- Flank steak or sirloin (or top round for a leaner option)
- Korean wheat noodles (Kuy Teav) or substitute with rice noodles or udon
- Fresh spinach
- Carrots
- Bell peppers
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- Low-sodium soy sauce (or regular soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free)
- Sesame oil (or olive oil)
- Freshly minced garlic
- Freshly minced ginger
- Scallions (or chives, or omit)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochujang, a teaspoon of minced garlic, and a teaspoon of minced ginger. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and toss it in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb those flavors.
- While the beef is marinating, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced carrots and bell peppers, stir-frying for about 3-4 minutes until they’re slightly tender.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the marinated beef. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until the beef is cooked through and browned.
- Add the remaining minced garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan, tossing everything together. Drizzle with an extra tablespoon of soy sauce and adjust seasoning to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and, if desired, a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy your Korean Beef Noodles hot!
