Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean beef flank steak, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium beef broth
• 8 ounces Rice noodles
• 0.25 cup Unsalted peanuts, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Stir to coat the beef evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the beef is marinating, prepare the rice noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the sliced green onions. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are coated with the sauce and heated through.

Step 7

Transfer the stir-fry to serving plates. Garnish with chopped unsalted peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
