Making Beef Teriyaki Noodle Stir Fry
(scroll down to the end of post for the full recipe!)
Preparing the Beef
For this recipe, I recommend a cheap cut of beef such as top or bottom round.
You can certainly go nicer with a top sirloin, but not necessary if you’re looking to keep things budget-friendly!
Make sure you buy your beef whole and NOT already pre-sliced into stir-fry beef!
To prep the meat, slice your steak into very thin strips. The thinner you can get it, the better texture it will have when it’s cooked!
Picking your Vegetables
I use a mix of broccoli, sweet peppers, and onions in this recipe, but you certainly have other options as well!
Some of our other vegetable add-in favorites…
- Snow peas or sugar snap peas
- Shredded carrots
- Sliced mushrooms
- Sliced zucchini
- Water chestnuts
- Baby corn
Making the Teriyaki Sauce
Disclaimer: if you’re running short on time, you can definitely take the easy route and use a jarred teriyaki sauce.
But if you have an extra five minutes, I DEFINITELY recommend making it homemade!
My homemade teriyaki sauce calls for soy sauce, white vinegar, light brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, water, and cornstarch.
It cooks up in only a few minutes right in the same pan with the vegetables and beef. The flavors are SO worth the extra little bit of effort!
I guarantee this beef teriyaki stir fry will become a dinner regular in your house. This one’s always on our dinner rotation for good reason!
Next time, try this citrus chicken and broccoli stir-fry or pineapple beef and broccoli stir-fry!

Oh, this sounds and looks so good! We have a Hu-Hot in town that is very popular. My husband isn’t a teriyaki lover, but I think I can persuade him to eat this using the steak he loves. Would you mind sharing how many servings this makes? I’d like to figure out the WW points. Thanks!
Sarah says
So sorry for my delay in responding, Kathy! I’ve updated the recipe to include serving size. 🙂

steak restaurant says
That looks so good. Eating stake is really nice when paired with the right essentials. I would love to get my bite on that.
Penny says
Absolutely perfect. I had some mushrooms in the fridge so I added them.
The sauce really finished this dish off nicely.
Used thin Chinese noodles instead but was still delicious.
Jenna Travels says
Looks Yummy!
Ramona says
Awesome! This was so easy to follow and ingredients I could actually find if I didn’t already have them in the pantry. Only changes I made was using low sodium soy and Chinese mein noodles. This is definitely a keeper for me. Thanks
Sarah says
Wonderful to hear, Ramona! So glad you loved this stir-fry. 🙂
Tamala says
I tried this recipe and it was very easy to follow. The meal came out perfect! The sugar was a bit too much so next time I will add slightly less. Thanks for the great recipe:)
Sarah says
Thanks for letting me know, Tamala! Glad you enjoyed this stir fry. 🙂
April says
Great recipe, I did make some changes tho, I seared my thinly sliced steak in batches separately and then put aside, did the same with veggies and then added it back in with Stir fry noodles and tossed with sauce, I also prefer less sugar, more vinegar and more ginger
Sarah says
Thanks for sharing your modifications, April! I’m so happy to hear this stir fry was a success! 🙂

Recipe is great, although the 15 ad’s you have to scroll through are annoying. You should change your tagline from ” I believe in a balanced healthy lifestyle” to “I am happy to put ad’s all over my website to make money and dont give a toss about the recipes which are the same on every website you visit”
At least you would be being honest!!!
Sarah says
Hi John – sorry, but my ads are my main source of income. You might notice that the recipe was free…the ads are how I’m able to keep them free. Glad you enjoyed the recipe, but kindly feel free to get them elsewhere if you can’t take the ads. They’re not going anywhere. 🤷
Cynthia Unger says
Making this tonight! Last night it was the Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowls, again a winner. Question though, do you have the nutritional value of the recipes? Of the one’s I’ve made only the Puttanesca had calories per serving.
Sarah says
Hi Cynthia – we’re still working on getting nutritional information added to all of the recipes on the website, but I went ahead and added it into the recipe card for you!
Cynthia Unger says
Thank you!!!!! I just want to say, it’s been hard for me to step out of my America’s Test Kitchen comfort zone, but so far all FIVE of your recipes I’ve made this week have been winners. Personally, I don’t care about the ads! I’m grateful for the free recipes and your dedication to provide healthy, filling and delicious recipes. Keep doing what you’re doing love.
Sarah says
Oh my goodness, that’s such a high compliment and I’m seriously so honored! So happy you’ve had success with all of my recipes you’ve tried so far, Cynthia. 🙂
Cynthia says
Sarah this is even better the next day! The only change I made when making the recipe was I added sambal to add another dimension. You’re batting a thousand!
Sarah says
Wonderful to hear, Cynthia! Enjoy. 🙂
Patti says
What can I say, but Delicious!
