Ingredients
360g (12 ⅔ oz) thin-cut beef steaks
4 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 red pepper, sliced into matchsticks
2 carrots, sliced into matchsticks
200g (7 oz) dried pasta, cooked according to package instructions
For the Sauce:
120g (½ cup) oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Place the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slice the beef into strips, cutting across the grain to keep it tender. Dust the beef with the seasoned flour.
- Cook the Pasta: Boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the carrots and red pepper into matchstick lengths for even cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and add the oil. Once hot, sear the beef strips for about 2 minutes per side. Add the sliced pepper and carrots and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the sauce into the pan, simmer, and adjust the sauce with water if necessary. Toss the cooked pasta into the pan and coat well with the sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Swap the beef for chicken or tofu for a different protein.
- Use snap peas, broccoli, or baby corn for additional vegetables.
- Substitute rice noodles for pasta for a more authentic dish.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari and cornstarch with a gluten-free option.
- Adjust the spice level with more or less sriracha sauce to suit your preference.
