Ingredients
-
8 oz wide egg noodles or rice noodles
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
-
1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (any color)
-
1 cup carrots, julienned
-
1 cup broccoli florets
-
2 cups cooked prime rib, thinly sliced
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or vegetarian alternative)

1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
-
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Toss lightly with a teaspoon of oil and set aside.
-
Prepare the skillet: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Cook the vegetables: Add onions, bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
-
Add the prime rib: Fold in the sliced prime rib and stir gently to warm through without overcooking. Ensure the beef is evenly distributed among the vegetables.
-
Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss gently to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly with the sauce.
-
Season and finish: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the skillet. Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce or sesame oil to taste.
-
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm for best texture and flavor.
Notes
-
Prime rib substitute: Use flank steak, sirloin, or rotisserie chicken if leftover prime rib is unavailable.
-
Vegetable variations: Swap in snap peas, zucchini, mushrooms, or any favorite vegetables.
-
Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
-
Meal prep tip: Keeps in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
-
Noodle alternatives: Rice noodles, soba noodles, or spaghetti can be used instead of egg noodles.
