Flank Steak Stir Fry with Crispy Chow Mein Noodles and veggies makes for the perfect Asian themed meal. The rich and thick sauce envelopes the noodles and the paper thin steak is ever so slightly cooked and fall apart tender while the veggies are still crisp and crunchy. Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free too.

flank steak stir fry

Recently I’ve start making a lot of stir fry recipes. Mainly because I’ve discovered flank steak and just want to cook with it every chance I get.

And it’s especially great for stir fry because the super thin slivers of meat are really tender and cook in a flash.

Also the crispy Chinese egg noodles in this recipe are great. Before frying them just cook them according to package directions. If the package itself is missing the directions – as mine was – just throw them into boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft.

Of course if you’re not a fan of the noodles, like my boyfriend, you can serve this dish with rice. But I personally prefer the crispy noodles. I think they really enhance the flavor of the dish.

I have to warn you – this recipe does include a few particular ingredients which you may not find in the average kitchen – mirin (Chinese rice wine) for example.

Sorry! If you can’t find this just omit it, but it’s definitely worth the purchase if you see it around! I just bought it for the first time myself last weekend – could not find it at the DC Giant Supermarket so had to travel all the way to the Market Basket in Ashland, MA for a bottle!

I don’t know if you’re familiar with Market Basket but it’s both the best and worst grocery store around. Super cheap (big +) yet has an uninviting and uncomfortable interior with an overwhelming amount of people buzzing (and o they’re really buzzing) around at all hours (huge -).

Shaw’s on the other hand has a much nicer feel but you’re going to be paying 9$ for a bottle of orange juice (WHAT?@!)… And so I always just suck it up and enter the mad house that Market Basket is. (And I never step foot into Shaw’s because I used to work there and it brings back nightmares — well, they’re not really nightmares, I’m just a bad sport about it).
