Instructions
Prep Ahead Steps
- PREP STEAK. Slice the flank steak into ¼ inch slices against the grain. Put into a bowl or plastic bag. Add ¼ cup Soy Sauce and mix. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to cook.
- MAKE THE SAUCE. TIP: if garlic and ginger are fresh, it’s easiest to use a blender vs. mincing by hand. Add the minced garlic and ginger to a bowl (or rough chopped to a blender) with the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Whisk or blend to combine. Set aside.
- PREP THE VEGGIES. Thinly slice the red pepper. Cut the scallions into 1 inch pieces. Cut off the broccoli florets . Set aside until ready to cook.
Cooking Steps
- Bring a covered large pot of water to a boil, about 5-8 minutes. Add the rice noodles and cook for just 3-4 min until they start to soften, but are still al dente (have a bite). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
- COOK STEAK. (While noodles cook) Preheat a large skillet on high heat. Add a teaspoon Olive Oil. Using tongs, transfer the flank steak to the hot pan in a single layer to sear for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the steak plus any liquid to a new clean bowl.
- COOK VEGGIES. To the same pan, add teaspoon of olive oil, broccoli, scallions, and red pepper. Cook for 4-5 min. Transfer veggies to the plate.
- COOK SAUCE. Add the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes while whisking until it has thickened. Then add the veggies and the steak back to the pan.
- MIX & SERVE. Mix in the noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes until warmed through. OR you can add the noodles back to their pot with a small amount of the sauce/stir fry to moisten them while they warm through. Serve the stir fry over/with the noodles, garnish with sesame seeds.
