Easy Beef Stir-Fry with Egg Noodles

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Tallow (Divided; use 1 tbsp for the beef and 1 tbsp for the vegetables.)
• 400 g Beef strips
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp Tamari
• 1 tsp Mirin
• 1 tsp Oyster sauce
• 2 tsp Potato starch (Mix with the reserved marinade.)
• Black pepper (A pinch)
• 1 Red chilli (Deseeded and thinly sliced.)
• 1 thumb Fresh ginger (Peeled and grated or minced.)
• 2 cloves Garlic (Grated or minced.)
• 1 Onion (Thinly sliced.)
• 1 Red pepper (Cut into thin strips.)
• 1 Carrot (Julienned.)
• 1 Spring onion (Thinly sliced.)
• Bok choy (Sliced; amount not specified.)
• 3 tbsp Water
• 200 g Egg noodles (Dry weight; source says to cook in hot water for 5 minutes.)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, whisk together the egg, tamari, mirin, oyster sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Add the beef strips and coat them in the mixture. Marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

2. 2

   Prepare the vegetables: deseed and thinly slice the chilli; peel and grate or mince the ginger; grate or mince the garlic; thinly slice the onion and spring onion; cut the red pepper into thin strips; julienne the carrot; and slice the bok choy.

3. 3

   Heat a pan until very hot. The source emphasizes high heat to help the beef develop color and crisp edges.

4. 4

   Add 1 tbsp of tallow to the hot pan. Lift the beef out of the marinade and spread it evenly in the pan; reserve the marinade.

5. 5

   Cook the beef over high heat until it has color, then transfer it to a plate to rest while you cook the vegetables.

6. 6

   Place the dry egg noodles in hot water and cook for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp of tallow to a pan. The source does not specify whether to keep the same pan or reduce the heat for this stage.

8. 8

   Add the garlic, onion, chilli, and ginger to the pan and cook for 1 minute.

9. 9

   Add the red pepper, carrot, and spring onion. Cook for 2 minutes.

10. 10

    Mix the potato starch with the reserved marinade, then add the mixture to the pan. Cook for a further 2 minutes.

11. 11

    Add the bok choy and cook for 1 minute.

12. 12

    Return the beef to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.

13. 13

    Serve the stir-fry with the cooked egg noodles. Rice is offered as an alternative serving suggestion.

Notes

The transcript mentions honey, extra cornstarch, sesame seeds, and coriander, but the written ingredient list and instructions do not include them, so they are not included. The written list specifies 2 tsp potato starch, 3 tbsp water, and no amount for bok choy; the written method does not say when to add the water. Noodles are prepared separately as stated; although the description lists 3 tbsp water, it gives no use for it.
