Beef Yaki Udon

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the sauce

For the stir fry

  • 14 ounces udon noodles
  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 cups green cabbage shredded
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Set it within reach of the stove, since this dish moves fast.
  • Prepare the 14 ounces udon noodles according to the package directions. If using fresh or frozen udon, a quick soak or blanch in hot water is enough to loosen them. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers. Add the 1 pound sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned but not fully cooked through. Transfer it to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the sliced onion, 2 cups cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until crisp tender and starting to char at the edges.
  • Add the 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon grated ginger and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Return the beef to the pan, then add the udon noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, until the noodles are hot and coated in the glossy sauce.
  • Stir in most of the green onions, then serve topped with the remaining green onions and the 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
