Best beef for stir-fry?

For the best slices of beef in a stir fry, we like to use sirloin steak. Simply trim away the thick layer of fat, and slice it into thin strips.

The same can be done with ribeye, rump, skirt or fillet steak for UK beef cuts. The equivalent US beef cuts would be top sirloin, tenderloin, flank, ribeye or top loin.

For quicker preparation, you can buy a pack of ready sliced lean beef stir-fry strips from most supermarkets.

How to make a homemade stir-fry sauce?

Making a stirfry sauce at home is so simple, mix freshly chopped garlic and chilli together with water, honey, soy, cornstarch, sesame oil and ground black pepper.

The cornstarch helps to thicken the stirfry sauce during cooking.

Alternatively, a shop-bought stirfry sauce can be used.

Stir-fried Vegetables

We used baby corn, mangetout and orange pepper in this beef stir-fry recipe. Cook the vegetables in oil and add a splash of water, to help them steam slightly.

Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, broccoli, snap peas, pak choi, onion, mushrooms, asparagus, bean sprouts, or water chestnuts.

You can also pick up a bag of ready prepared stir-fried vegetables to save time chopping!

How to cook egg noodles for a stir-fry?

Cooking egg noodles ready to be added to a stir-fry couldn't be easier! Place the dried nests of egg noodles into a large bowl and fill with freshly boiled water until submerged.

Use tongs to stir occasionally and drain water away when cooked. A pack of dried medium egg noodles usually take 7 minutes or fine egg noodles will take about 5 minutes.

It is best to time the cooking of the noodles to be ready and added straight away after draining. Which for this beef stir-fry is whilst the steak is cooking.

How to stop chinese egg noodles sticking together?

If the noodles are ready before needed, drain and rinse the noodles in cool water to stop the cooking process.

To prevent the noodles from sticking together, add back to the bowl with a few drops of oil ( any oil can be used) use tongs to mix the cooked egg noodles together with oil.

Alternatively, you can buy a pack of pre-cooked straight to wok noodles for this beef stir-fry recipe.

What order to add ingredients to beef noodle stir-fry?

Prepare all your stir-fry ingredients first, when you get cooking it is a quick process so you need to have everything chopped and ready to go.

Chop your steak and vegetables and prepare the homemade stir-fry sauce.

We find it best to use tongs to mix a stirfry without breaking the noodles. Keep on heat until warmed throughout.

What can I put on top of beef stir fry?

We like to add sesame seeds, a handful of chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and a freshly chopped chilli.

You can use other fresh or dried herbs or vegetables, such as basil or spring onions or sprinkle with dried seaweed or chilli flakes.
