Instructions
Begin cooking noodles according to package directions. While noodles are cooking, place sauce ingredients (soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, sesame oil, ground ginger and garlic) in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Season beef strips with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat. Add beef strips and cook 5 to 6 minutes (stirring frequently), or until done and no longer pink. Remove beef from skillet with tongs or a slotted spoon (leave juices in pan) and place on a plate. Set aside.
Add broccoli, carrots and red peppers to the same skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes (stirring frequently), or until tender.
Return cooked beef to skillet. Stir in cooked noodles and sauce to evenly coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through (1 to 2 minutes).
Sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving, if desired.
