Black Pepper Steak and Noodle Stir-Fry
Don't skimp on the black pepper, which gives this quick-cooking, Asian-inspired noodle dish its unique flavor.
Smarts: Steaming the broccoli ahead of time ensures it is already tender so that you can focus on getting the steak cooked just right.

Make

  1. Heat a wok or skillet with first portion of cooking oil over medium heat. Add steak in a single layer. Cook steak, without stirring, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip steak and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until steak is just cooked through, ~2 minutes more. Transfer steak to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Add second portion of oil and then mushrooms to pan. Saute until mushrooms are very tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour sauce over mushrooms and bring to a simmer.
  4. Whisk together second portion of cornstarch and water (for steak). Stir into simmering sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add noodles and broccoli to pan and stir to coat in sauce.
  6. Remove pan from heat and fold in steak.
  7. Serve noodles with green onions and some extra red pepper flakes or some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
