Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, chilled
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, divided
2 large garlic cloves, pressed with a garlic press or finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
3 scallions, thinly sliced, divided
8 ounces snow peas
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/4"-thick strips

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in a medium pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, whisk oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey together in a medium bowl.
  • Slice beef against the grain as thinly as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large wok or skillet over high. Add beef and cook, tossing often, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in same skillet over high. Cook garlic, ginger, and half of the scallions, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add peas and bell pepper and cook until vegetables are softened, about 1 minute. Add oyster sauce mixture and reserved noodles and cook, tossing with tongs, until everything is coated and sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes more. Add beef and stir to combine.
  • Divide among plates and top with remaining scallions.
