Beef and Veggie Noodle Bowls

Got leftover veggies? Make these beef and veggie noodle bowls!

First let me say I struggled with what to calls this – beef lo mein would have been appropriate except I didn’t use lo mein noodles because I couldn’t find them anywhere (and by “anywhere” I mean in the one store I shopped at this weekend) and I just didn’t feel right calling the dish beef lo mein if one of the main ingredients in the title was non-existent in the dish itself. So I settled on noodle bowls. I hope that’s okay.

Maybe I should have called it leftover veggie heaven…

See what I mean? This recipe uses not just one or two kinds of leftover veggies – I used up five different kinds veggies plus some leftover beef. Bell peppers, carrots, scallions, red onion, and mushrooms – it’s all in there along with a soy/oyster/garlic-chili sauce that packs a lot of flavor with a hint of heat. Plus, it’s simple to make (if you don’t mind some chopping) and takes all of 30ish minutes start to finish, which was like a gift after spending 20-something hours making demi-glace this weekend (more on that later this week).

So in the spirit of this quick and easy dinner I’m keeping this one short and sweet — have a great start to the week, everyone!

Happy noodling,

Description

These beef noodle bowls are a great way to satisfy a take-out craving without picking up the phone or leaving the house. Mushrooms, peppers, and onions are tossed in a savory sauce with beef and noodles – all you need is 30ish minutes to make it.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Noodles

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-chili sauce, or to taste (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Veggies and Beef

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 5 ounces flank steak or skirt steak (see note)
  • 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 medium-sized bell pepper, sliced (or use a mix – I used a 1/2 red and 1/2 yellow)
  • 1/2 medium-sized red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium-sized carrots, thinly sliced (see note) 
  • 2 scallions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles: Boil the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and toss the noodles with the sesame oil. Set the spaghetti aside.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
  3. Cook the beef: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the steak in the pan and cook it for a few minutes on each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest.
  4. Cook the veggies: In the same pan, cook the mushrooms, peppers, onion, and carrots for about ten minutes, or until they’ve released a lot of their moisture. Add the sauce to the pan and bring it to a simmer and stir to coat all of the veggies.
  5. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and add it to the pan with the sauce and veggies. Stir to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Add the cooked spaghetti and, using tongs, toss it with the sauce. Garnish with the sliced scallions and serve.

Notes

  • A lot of different cuts of beef will work for this recipe including ribeye, sirloin, and New York strip steak. If you use leftover steak, just slice it and toss it in at the end to warm up in the sauce before you add the noodles.
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic chili sauce will give the dish a nice kick of heat so if you’re heat-averse I would cut the amount in half.
  • For the carrots, I used my vegetable peeler to get really thin strips.

    April, These noodles bowls look fantastic and such a delicious way to use up leftover veggies (all of them)! I totally approve of the name you gave these… I mean they are noodles in a bowl = noodle bowl. Short and Sweet title for a Seriously Scrumptious Dish 🙂 Pics have me drooling, by the way *insert wipping off chin here* Cheers, girlie and thanks for sharing!

    I love making stir-fry’s that use up leftover veggies. I also keep frozen veggies on hand in case I hadn’t gone shopping recently. You might be able to find udon noodles more easily, which would be a good alternative. Love the lighting on this photo shoot, it has a rustic look.
