Beef and Noodles

When it comes to Asian food, I love sushi. The husband on the other hand does not like any form of fish or seafood and much prefers beef and chicken Chinese dishes. (It makes me so sad that he doesn't like fish but he does at least try everything once.) We've been trying to stop eating out or getting take out recently so I wanted to give the husband a homemade version of the Chinese food he loves so much. We both really liked this dish and it was a quick and easy meal to make, it would be great for a weekday meal.



Ingredients

1 lb of beef, cut into thin strips (London Broil would be great for this dish)
1 package of Udon noodles
1 small bell pepper, sliced
1/4 lb of snow peas or broccoli
Marinade
1tsp of garlic, minced
1 tsp of sesame oil
3 tsp of soy sauce
1tsp of Worcestershire sauce
salt
pepper
Sauce
4tsp of soy sauce
2 tsp of sesame oil
1 tsp of chili powder

Directions

Combined marinade ingredients in a 9 x9 dish. Add beef slices, cover and refrigerator for at least 4 hours, best if over night.



Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat, add beef to hot skillet. Do not add the marinade. Cook until no longer pink, about 7-9 minutes. Remove beef and keep warm. Add peppers, snow peas and/or broccoli to hot pan, cook until tender. While vegetables are cooking bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles. The noodles will cook in about 5-7 minutes. Drain, do not rinse. Once vegetables are tender, add all ingredients for sauce. Add beef and noodles and mix until coated with sauce.

Serve immediately.
