1. Marinate the Steak:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix well to coat and set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Prepare the Noodles:
- Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions but reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes since they will be stir-fried later. Drain and set aside.
3. Mix the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chili paste, and ginger. Stir well and set aside.
4. Cook the Steak:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until the vegetables are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the steak to the skillet along with the cooked ramen noodles and the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and coated with the sauce.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top of the stir-fried ramen.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Tips for Perfect Steak Stir-Fried Ramen:
- Slice the Steak Thinly: Ensure the steak slices are thin for quick cooking that keeps them tender.
- Preparation Speed: Have all your ingredients chopped and ready to go before you start cooking, as the process moves quickly once the heat is on.
- Variability: Feel free to add other vegetables you like such as broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy for extra nutrition and variety.
This dish is perfect for a quick dinner that packs a flavorful punch. Enjoy your steak stir-fried ramen with its rich flavors and satisfying textures!
