Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 packages (14-16 oz each) fresh or frozen udon noodles
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 green onions, sliced diagonally
  • Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice beef into thin strips and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 2 teaspoons black pepper.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or skillet. Sear beef in batches for 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté onion for 2 minutes, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook for another minute.
  6. Add noodles and sauce to the pan. Toss to coat. Add beef and half the green onions. Stir for 30 seconds.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with remaining green onions and extra black pepper.

Notes

Substitute tofu or seitan for a vegetarian version. Use tamari and gluten-free noodles to make it gluten-free. Partially freeze beef for easier slicing. Great for meal prep—keeps well in the fridge or freezer.
