Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make buckwheat noodles with beef and vegetables? Prepare the ingredients. When buying noodles, pay attention to the packaging. If it does not indicate the cooking time in a language you understand, check with the seller for information. Take medium carrots and peppers. Choose beef from the upper parts of the carcass, which is suitable for frying. There should be no excess liquid, unpleasant odor or many veins around the meat. Use any odorless vegetable oil.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the meat well under running water and dry. Cut off veins and films, if any. Cut into elongated pieces about 1 cm thick. This cut is considered classic for such a dish.

Step 3

Step 3
Take a container suitable for marinating. The material from which it is made must not oxidize. Enameled, ceramic and glassware are ideal. Pour soy sauce over the meat, add marjoram and basil. There is no need to salt the meat; there is enough salt in soy sauce. Stir and leave to marinate for 30-40 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the carrots thoroughly, peel and cut into strips 4-5 cm long. This way they will retain their shape and will not fall apart.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the broccoli, divide it into florets and cut lengthwise into strips. Wash the green beans, remove the hard stalks and cut into pieces 4-5 cm long. Vegetables cut in this way will be harmoniously combined with the rest of the ingredients. If you have frozen vegetables, remove them from the freezer 30-40 minutes before cooking so that they begin the defrosting process and have time to cook.

Step 6
Wash the pepper, remove the stem and seeds and cut into strips, like carrots.

Take a frying pan with high sides. It’s good if you have a wok frying pan special for Asian dishes. It is more convenient to cook on it and the finished dish has a richer taste. Place the marinated beef in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil, fry for 5 minutes on both sides over high heat. Check the meat for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If it pierces easily, then you chose good beef and cooked it correctly.

Add chopped carrots to the meat, fry for 5-6 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped pepper and continue to fry for another 3 minutes, remembering to stir.
