Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
• 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (for thickening, optional)
• Sesame seeds and additional green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, omitting the seasoning packets. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sirloin steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. If using, add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Add Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, gently tossing to combine everything thoroughly and ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
7. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.
