This can be cooked on the stove top in a wok or saute pan.
Flavors come together nicely and will not be saucy as the noodles will absorb the sauce.

Chili Beef Sauce

Marinade for Flank Steak

Ingredients for Chili Chow Fun Noodles

  • 2 tbsp Fresh Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger minced
  • ½ cup Scallions cut into 2 inch sticks
  • ¼ cup Thai Basil Leaves
  • ¼ cup Cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup Carrots Sliced
  • ½ ea Package of dry Chow Fun Noodles

Instructions

Marinating and Cooking the Flank Steak

  • Flank steak should be trimmed & cut into ⅓ to allow for best marinade penetration. Combine all ingredient for the marinade and marinate 3-8 hours.
  • When time to cook, grill the beef to desired temperature. 130° for medium rare. Reserve the beef to slice when noodles are finished.

Cooking the Noodles

  • Hydrate the noodles in hot water for 20-30 minutes prior to cooking time.
  • In a wok or saute pan, heat oil and add aromatics, Ginger and Garlic. Saute the aromatics to release aroma, avoid burning.
    Remove from heat if needed.
  • Add the Carrots and saute. Carrots can be pre blanched to expedite the cooking time.
  • Add the Hydrated Noodles to the wok. Toss the noodles to cook and continue to soften the noodles.
  • Once the noodles have become more translucent add the sauce.
  • Continue to toss over a medium heat. The noodles will absorb the sauce as it cooks.
  • Add the Scallions, Cilantro and Thai Basil Toss to combine. Beef can be added to the noodles or served on the plate aside the noodles.

Notes

  • Prep time does not include the marinade time of 3-8 hours.
  • Cooking time is mostly for grilling the steak.
  • Cooking the noodles in a wok or saute pan is pretty quick.
  • Be patient to allow the noodles to absorb the sauce.
  • Final dish should not be saucy, the flavor will be in the noodles and the beef.
