🔪 Step‑by‑Step Instructions
1. Prep the Beef
Toss sliced sirloin with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. This locks in juices and creates a crisp exterior.
2. Sear the Beef
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over medium‑high. Stir‑fry beef for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables
Add remaining oil. Stir‑fry bell pepper and broccoli for 3–4 minutes until tender‑crisp. Add garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce
Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar until dissolved. This forms the sticky, sweet‑savory glaze.
5. Combine
Return beef to the pan. Pour in sauce, chilies, and spring onions. Stir until everything is coated and sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add Noodles
Toss in egg noodles, mixing until heated through and glossy with sauce.
7. Garnish & Serve
Top with chili flakes, extra chilies, and spring onions. Serve hot for maximum flavor.
✨ Final Note: Sticky Beef Noodles are bold, quick, and endlessly adaptable. Adjust the spice, swap in seasonal veggies, or double the batch for leftovers—you’ll have a crowd‑pleasing dish every time.
