1 1/2 lbs beef flank steak
-
3 tablespoons peanut oil
-
1/2 lb shiitake mushrooms or 1/2 lb cremini mushroom, caps,sliced
-
1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil
-
2 tablespoons sugar

4 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 scallions, thinly sliced
-
2 carrots, grated
-
1 -3 small dried hot red chili pepper
Instructions
- Slice beef thinly across the grain into pieces about 3-inches long (doing this while beef is partially frozen is best).
- Bring beef to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until sugar dissolves; set aside until needed.
- Cook the noodles in boiling water about 8-10 minutes or until tender; drain.
- While noodles are cooking, cook mushrooms in oil in a small skillet until softened, then remove and drain away the liquid that collects.
- Add the garlic, scallions and hot peppers to the skillet and cook on high for about 1 minute or until pepper becomes aromatic.
- Then add the carrot, steak and mushrooms.
- Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes but try not to overcook (as this is usually served on the rare side).
- Add the soy sauce mixture and cook about 2 minutes more.
- Place noodles on a serving platter and top with beef mixture, and toss together until mixed.
- Serve at once.
