Steak Mei Fun Noodles


Chinese food is one of my favorites.  Normally, I make Chicken Mei Fun Noodles, but the other night I had some left over steak and it was fabulous!  Give this one a try.

Steak Mei Fun Noodles

1/4 pkg. Mei Fun Noodles
4 cups water for soaking noodles
4 baby carrots, julienne sliced (long, thin slices)
2 green onions, chopped
3 Tbsp. diced red onion
1 piece of leftover roast or steak, cut in small very thin slices
2 eggs, pre-scrambled (optional)
1 tsp. minced ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp. butter

You will only need approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of the Mei Fun Noodle package.  Place them in water and allow them to sit for at least 30 minutes.  You want the noodles to absorb the water and be tender.

Meanwhile, thinly julienne (slice) the baby carrots, chop the green and red onion and slice the leftover steak into small, thin slices (about 1/2" x 3/4").  Place butter, carrots, onions, steak, ginger, garlic, pepper and soy sauce into a deep skillet and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes. Add beef broth.  Bring to a boil.  Drain the water off of the noodles and add them to the skillet.  Stir to mix and continue to stir until most of the broth has condensed down into the noodles.  If desire, pre-scramble 2 eggs with a little milk.  Add them into the mixture and serve.

You can also add things like bamboo shoots, thinly sliced zucchini, etc.  Kick it up a notch!

Enjoy!
