Beef and Veggie Noodle bowls

These beef and veggie noodle bowls are a great way to satisfy a take-out craving without picking up the phone or leaving the house! They’re packed with lots of veggies, tender beef, and noodles that are tossed in a savory sauce. Got leftover veggies? Make these beef and veggie noodle bowls!

This recipe uses not just one or two kinds of leftover veggies – I used up five different kinds veggies plus some leftover beef. Bell peppers, carrots, scallions, red onion, and mushrooms – it’s all in there along with a soy/oyster/garlic-chili sauce that packs a lot of flavor with a hint of heat. Plus, it’s simple to make (if you don’t mind some chopping) and takes all of 30ish minutes start to finish, which was like a gift after spending 20-something hours making demi-glace this weekend (more on that later this week).

So in the spirit of this quick and easy dinner I’m keeping this one short and sweet — have a great start to the week, everyone!
