Shaking Beef Udon

Ingredients

• 0.5 lb filet mignon (thinly sliced)
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (approx 24g)
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Maggi seasoning
• 0.5 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced, approx 10g)
• 1 tbsp sambal
• 2 pack fresh udon noodles
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp regular soy sauce
• 2 tsp sugar (for the noodles)
• 4 Chinese broccoli stems (chopped)
• 0.5 yellow onion (sliced)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced filet mignon with the sugar, oyster sauce, Maggi seasoning, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sambal. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the noodles by loosening them in a bowl of hot water, then drain well.

3. 3

   Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat with a splash of oil. Add the marinated beef and sear quickly until browned and caramelized. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add the yellow onion and Chinese broccoli stems. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.

5. 5

   Add the udon noodles to the pan along with the dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, and sugar. Toss everything together over high heat until the noodles are well-coated and heated through.

6. 6

   Return the cooked beef to the pan, toss briefly to combine, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the beef to achieve a proper sear without overcooking the meat. If you prefer more heat, add extra sambal to taste.
