Calories 348kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds steak of choice such as top sirloin, round, skirt, or flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola oil or any neutral oil
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons chili crisp or more/less to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon mirin Shaoxing wine, or dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For Serving
- 2 to 3 packets cooked ramen noodles discard the seasoning packets
- Chopped green onions optional
- Toasted sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the beef and baking soda and toss to coat the meat well. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. This guarantees perfectly tender beef.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all the sauce ingredients. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned on all sides, stirring frequently. Whisk the sauce again to make sure the cornstarch isn't stuck to the bottom, then add the sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the beef over the ramen noodles and top with green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
