I really do love this Sirloin Steak Udon Noodle Stir Fry! The other night I had a piece of sirloin leftover from another recipe and decided I’d marinate it overnight and have stir fry the next day. Allen doesn’t like stir fry so I save it for when he’s gone for my indulgence!
I love Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cantonese…you name it, I love all Asian food that I’ve tried. It just seems so fresh, like the ingredients in a stir fry. The vegetables stay crispy and the meat isn’t overcooked because of the quick stir fry.
Sirloin Steak Udon Noodle Stir Fry
You could easily leave the Udon noodles out and make the steak and vegetables stir fry and serve over rice, but I really love Udon noodles. You can actually buy Udon Noodles that have already been cooked in the Asian section of your store. They come in a bag and you just toss them into your soup or your stir fry. This time I bought the dried version and cooked the noodles like spaghetti. I bought Hakubaku organic Udon noodles. Here’s a link for the noodles: https://www.amazon.com/Hakubaku-Organic-Authentic-Japanese-Noodles/dp/B000LKX6RS.

Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
Sirloin Steak Udon Noodle Stir Fry
Ingredients
For the Steak and the Marinade
- 8 oz sirloin steak or other similar steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp asian fish sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (helps tenderize the meat)
- 1 garlic clove finely minced or grated
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
For the Beef and Udon Noodle Stir Fry
- the marinated sirloin steak brought to room temperature and patted dry
- 9.5 oz Udon noodles cooked then rinsed in cold water
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely minced
- 1 cup bell peppers of different colors, julienned
- 1/4 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup snow peas
- olive oil for cooking
- soy sauce for finishing
Instructions
For the Steak and the Marinade
- Combine the ingredients in a plastic bag and mix well. Add the steak slices and seal your bag. Marinate overnight if you can up to 48 hours. The longer the more tender your steak will be and the more flavorful.
For the Beef and Udon Noodle Stir Fry
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the carrots and blanch for about 2 minutes. Remove them from the water and place in a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a wok to almost smoking. Add a little oil and immediately add your beef. Stir fry for 2 or 3 minutes until your desired doneness. Immediately remove and set aside. I usually remove the meat from the pan with a little pink still showing because you will add it back in and it will continue to cook after you remove it from the pan.
- Add the ginger, garlic and blanched carrots and stir fry for a minute or so. Add the peppers and snow peas and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring and tossing to keep everything from burning. Add your beef and cooked noodles and cook for an additional minute or two making sure everything is combined and flavorful from the soy sauce. Serve in bowls with chop sticks. Add Sriracha, Sambal Oelek, or other Asian hot sauces if desired.
