Make a well in the middle by pushing noodles and vegtables up to the sides. Add the sauce and bring to a boil, stiring to thicken. Then add the beef and stir everything together and simmer briefly. Serve hot.

CHEF COMMENTS

This is a pretty amazing dish. Relatively simple but very good. The marinade makes the beef very tender and the sesame oil adds a nice flavor. It is sort of a modified stir fry. Please enjoy, this is one of my favorite dishes.
