🔪 Step‑by‑Step Instructions
1. Prep the Beef
Toss sliced sirloin with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. This locks in juices and creates a crisp exterior.
2. Sear the Beef
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high. Stir-fry beef 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables
Add remaining oil. Stir-fry bell pepper and broccoli 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce
Whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar until smooth. This creates the sticky, sweet-savory glaze.
5. Combine Everything
Return beef to the pan. Add sauce, chilies, and spring onions. Stir until coated and sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add Noodles
Toss in egg noodles until heated through and glossy with sauce.
7. Garnish & Serve
Top with chili flakes, extra chilies, and spring onions. Serve hot for maximum flavor.
