Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce 🌱
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced 🌿
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 🌶️
- 1 boneless beef top sirloin steak (about 1 pound) 🥩
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced 🍄
- 2 cups beef broth 🍲
- 2 cups snow peas ❄️
- 1 cup green onion, chopped 🧅
- 1 1/2 cups red bell pepper, sliced 🌶️
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil 🥄
- 1 package of noodles (your choice, e.g., egg noodles, rice noodles) 🍜
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced fresh ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over both sides of the top sirloin steak. Let the steak marinate on a plate at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb all those wonderful flavors.
-
Prepare the Skillet: Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and let it heat until it shimmers.
-
Cook the Steak: Drain the marinated steak and reserve any remaining soy sauce mixture. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches a medium-rare doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
Stir Fry the Mushrooms: While the steak rests, add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
-
Make the Soup Base: Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the mushrooms. Add the snow peas and the reserved soy sauce mixture. Bring everything to a boil, making sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to lift up any browned bits from the steak. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the noodles.
-
Slice the Steak: Once the steak has rested, cut it across the grain into 1/8-inch slices. Then, cut each slice into 1-inch pieces. Add these steak pieces to the simmering soup and heat through.
-
Finish and Serve: Add the chopped green onion and sesame oil to the soup, stirring to combine. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the red bell pepper strips for a fresh, crunchy contrast.
Enjoy this vibrant and comforting Beef Soup With Noodles, perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner! 🥄🍲🍜
