Asian Beef and Ramen Noodles

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Beef is easier to slice thinly if it is partially frozen. Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 lb. beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 (3 oz.) pkgs. Oriental flavor instant ramen noodles
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups frozen broccoli and carrots, thawed and drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 cups snow pea pods

Preparation:

Discard one seasoning packet from the ramen noodles and break the noodles into pieces. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced beef and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove the meat and toss with 1/2 of one seasoning packet from the noodles. Set aside.

Add the onion, garlic, and the broccoli and carrots and saute until almost cooked, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the red bell pepper. Add water, ground ginger, noodles, rest of seasoning packet, and snow pea pods and stir. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the noodles and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add the beef and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute longer and serve. 4-6 servings.
