Beef Stir-fry with Rice Noodles

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Cut the beef into thin strips, place in a bowl and mix with crushed garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and set aside for now.
• 2
  Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: clean the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice it.

  Now, start heating approximately 1–1.5 l of water in a pot for cooking the rice noodles. In the meantime, begin preparing the beef mixture (see below). Once the water in the pot starts to boil, salt it, add the noodles, and cook them over medium heat for the time indicated on the package (usually only a few minutes). Continuously check the noodles to prevent overcooking.

  To prepare the beef mixture, heat a non-stick pan, pour 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil into it, heat it over high heat, and then add the meat mixture from the bowl to the pan. Sauté the mixture over high heat for approximately 5 minutes, until the meat is seared on all sides. Then add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the pan and sauté everything for another 3 minutes. Afterward, reduce the heat to medium, add soy sauce, honey, and beef broth (or water) to the pan, mix everything thoroughly, cover the pan with a lid, and let the mixture thicken (this will take approximately 2 minutes).

  Divide the finished meat mixture from the pan into 2 plates, sprinkle with chopped spring onion, and serve with the cooked noodles.
