Sticky Beef Noodles is a quick, savory stir-fry packed with tender beef, chewy noodles, and a bold, sticky-sweet sauce. It’s the perfect weeknight comfort food with Asian-inspired flair.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef (flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (plus extra for marinade)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 8 oz cooked noodles (rice noodles, lo mein, or egg noodles)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Toss sliced beef with cornstarch and a splash of soy sauce. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, brown sugar or honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from pan.
  4. Pour the sauce into the same pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat with sauce. Return the beef to the pan and stir until combined and glossy.
  6. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Use high heat for a quick sear and better texture.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for variety.
  • Use oyster sauce instead of hoisin for a richer flavor.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce for best texture.
