I love noodle recipes!
How about you?
I always have a small collection of different types of noodles in my pantry and kitchen cupboards. From Japanese ramen, udon and soba noodles, Chinese egg noodles, Vietnamese glass noodles to Thai flat noodles for pad thai.
My Noodle Pantry
Hell I could almost start my own noodle shop now that I come to think of it!
How many different types noodles do you have in your kitchen at this moment?
I also have to admit that there is a stash of instant noodle bags with shrimp and chicken flavoring somewhere. Yes, I do love those as a quick and easy sneaky snack in the afternoon or even late at night.
Delicious.
Addictive
This noodles and beef dish is soooo addictive. I could literally eat tons of this stuff.
So what makes it so delicious then?
I guess that it is because of that spicy black pepper sauce that I used in it this time.
Right?
Best Noodles And Beef in Black Pepper Sauce
Have you tasted black pepper sauce before?
I love that black sticky stuff. I admit that I even spread it on a slice of bread for lunch sometimes! It goes extremely well with cheddar cheese too I think.
This ready made jar of Lee Kum Kee black pepper sauce comes from a Chinese supermarket in Brussels I visit quite often.
And I love it!
Also look at that medium rare beef…
If you prefer it a little more cooked on the inside, be my guest!
If you find this sauce too sweet or too tacky, here’s my personal skinny version of this sauce that I sometimes prepare when I don’t have a Lee Kum Kee jar in my pantry.

Best Noodles And Beef in Black Pepper Sauce Recipe
Noodles and beef in a delicious Asian black pepper sauce...
- 7 oz steak (200 g)
- 7 oz rice noodles (200 g)
- 2 tbsp black pepper sauce
- 5 fresh spring onions
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Prepare the rice vermicelli. Follow the specific cooking instructions on the package. Some are soaked in cold water, some are cooked. Once tender, drain the noodles and put them aside until needed later.
Pour the vegetable oil in non-stick pan and place it over high heat until hot. Then add the steak. Sear the steak on all sides and then cook it until the doneness you like best.
I prefer mine rare to medium-rare on the inside. Also gives this dish a great look after the steak is sliced up. Then remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a clean chopping board for about 5 minutes. Then slice it up and add it back to the pan together with the black pepper sauce.
- Pour in a small splash of water and turn the heat lower to medium. Let the sauce simmer for a minute. In the meantime slice up the spring onions and add them to the pan.
- Stir again. Then add the cooked and drained noodles.
- Stir well now. Add extra water if necessary. Check the seasoning and add more black pepper sauce to taste if necessary. The sauce is pretty spicy so watch out. Once the noodles and steak are nicely coated with the pepper sauce, then take the pan off the heat and scoop the stir fry into bowls. Sprinkle with the black sesame seeds and serve hot.
