Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsps cornstarch (for a crispy sear, optional)
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 2 packs (14 oz / 397 g each) fresh or frozen udon noodles (pre-cooked)
- 2 tbsps soy sauce
- 2 tbsps oyster sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- ½ cup sliced onions
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Griddle Preparation: Heat Blackstone to 400F and lightly oil the surface for optimal cooking conditions.
- Marinade Creation: Blend soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and cornstarch with thinly sliced steak, allowing ingredients to meld for 10 minutes.
- Sauce Development: Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a complex flavor profile.
- Meat and Vegetable Cooking: Sear marinated steak on griddle for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized, then simultaneously sauté mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions until tender yet crisp.
- Noodle Integration: Spread udon noodles across griddle, drizzle with half the prepared sauce, and toss to achieve light caramelization.
- Final Fusion: Combine seared steak, sautéed vegetables, and seasoned noodles, pour remaining sauce over mixture, and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes to harmonize flavors.
- Presentation: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, serving immediately while piping hot to maximize culinary enjoyment.
Notes
- Optimize Griddle Temperature: Maintain a consistent 400F for perfect sear and prevent meat from becoming tough or dry.
- Marinate Strategically: Allow steak to absorb seasonings for exactly 10 minutes to enhance flavor without breaking down meat proteins.
- Layer Cooking Sequence: Cook proteins first, then vegetables, and finally noodles to preserve individual ingredient textures and prevent overcrowding.
- Control Sauce Application: Add sauce gradually during cooking to prevent soggy noodles and ensure each ingredient gets proper caramelization.
