2 tbsp oyster sauce
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
¼ cup water
-
1 tbsp honey (or agave)
For the Stir-Fry
-
4 tsp peanut oil, divided

½ red bell pepper, diced

10 button mushrooms, sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

1 (14.2 oz) package pre-cooked udon stir-fry noodles

Instructions
1. Marinate the Beef
Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, and brown sugar until smooth. Add sliced beef, toss to coat, and let marinate 15–30 minutes.
2. Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, and honey. Set aside.
3. Sear the Beef
Heat 2 tsp peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer. Sear 1 minute undisturbed, then stir-fry 1–2 minutes until browned but slightly pink inside. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Veggies
Add remaining 2 tsp peanut oil. Stir-fry red bell pepper, mushrooms, and broccoli for 3–4 minutes, until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
5. Combine & Toss
Add udon noodles to the pan and separate gently with tongs. Stir-fry 1 minute, then return beef (and juices). Pour in sauce. Toss 2–3 minutes until everything is glossy and coated.
6. Serve & Garnish
Transfer to bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook beef in batches for perfect sear.
-
Slice against the grain for tender beef.
-
Blanch broccoli for 1 minute before stir-frying if you prefer it softer.
-
Make it spicy: Add Sriracha or chili crisp to the sauce.
