Ingredients

• 12 ounces lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 8 ounces whole grain noodles
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cook the whole grain noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil. Stir-fry the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium beef broth, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and cornstarch until smooth.

Step 6

Return the beef to the wok, and pour the broth mixture over everything. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Add the cooked whole grain noodles to the wok and toss everything together to coat the noodles with the sauce thoroughly.

Step 8

Season with freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
