Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs beef flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain into 3-inch pieces

• 1/2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 12 baby carrots, sliced
• 4 hot peppers (adjust according to spice preference)
• 4 portions of noodles

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Slice the beef thinly across the grain into pieces about 3 inches long. It’s best to do this while the beef is partially frozen.
   • Bring the beef to room temperature before cooking.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside until needed.

3. Cook the Noodles:

4. Cook the Mushrooms:

   • While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a small skillet.
   • Cook the shiitake and cremini mushrooms until softened. Remove and drain away any liquid collected.

5. Add Aromatics:

   • To the skillet, add minced garlic, chopped scallions, and hot peppers. Cook on high for about 1 minute or until the peppers become aromatic.

6. Cook the Beef and Vegetables:

   • Add sliced carrots, beef, and cooked mushrooms to the skillet.
   • Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook, as it’s typically served on the rare side.

7. Combine Everything:

   • Pour in the soy sauce mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
   • Place the cooked noodles on a serving platter and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
