Garlic Beef Noodle Bowls – an Asian style noodle bowl with lots of garlic, that is ready in just minutes! Great for busy nights.
Making Asian Recipes at home are probably some of my favorite. It is such a great way to get the restaurant flavor, but less salty and using the quality ingredients that know and love.
These Beef Noodle Bowls are one of those that you can get on the table in just 15 minutes any night of the week. and you can mix up the protein to whatever your family likes. Or add lots of veggies to make it even more filling and better for you.
What’s In Beef Noodle Bowls
- Olive Oil
- Skirt Steak or Flank Steak
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Soy Sauce
- Brown Sugar
- Sesame Oil
- Noodles
- Green Onions
- Sesame Seeds
And you can even complete your take out meal with a super fast and easy Egg Drop Soup if you want the full restaurant experience.
How To Make Garlic Beef Noodle Bowls
- Start by cooking whatever noodles you want to use according to package directions.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until well combined and then set aside until you are ready to use it.
- Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet. Once it is hot, add the beef strips. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes, until it is browned, but not cooked through.
- Add garlic and ginger to the pan, cook for 1 minute until you can just start to smell them. You want to be careful not to let them burn.
- Now you mix in the soy sauce mixture to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Add cooked noodles to the pan and stir until everything is well coated.
- Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds over the pan to serve.
What Noodles Do I Use
What noodles you use, is pretty much up to you. I used udon noodles, but some people comment they look like worms and can’t do it.
- Lo Mein Noodles
- Linguine
- Spaghetti
- Egg Noodles
- Udon Noodles
Or pretty much any other noodle that you like will work.
I love dinner that is ready in minutes. These garlic beef noodle bowls come together in about 15 minutes, which is perfect for busy weeknights. Slicing the beef takes the most amount of time. Depending on the noodles you use, they can be done in anything from 2-10 minutes.

Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Sorry you guys weren’t able to fly, but SO glad you were able to attend your grandfather’s funeral. I hope it was a beautiful service. <3 These noodle bowls look absolutely delicious!! Garlic beef plus noodles is my idea of dinner winning! Thank you so much for including my Honey Ginger Garlic Chicken Carrot Noodle Bowls in your "other recipes you might like"! I'm honored. Cheers to a wonderful weekend!
P.s. while I prefer to fly, at that price I would have driven too!
Erin S says
Thank you Cheyanne! The drive wasn’t too bad, we broke it up some. Definitely worth saving the money!
Desiree says
Thank you for sharing this recipe…it was sooo good … definitely make it with low sodium soy sauce next time tho …it was a bit salty for us.
Patti says
I made this tonight for dinner. The grandkids loved it. Ask if we could have it again tomorrow.
Erin S says
That is great Patti! Thanks for letting me know! It is on the menu here tomorrow night too!
Lora says
Based on the picture, do you pull-apart the steak strips a bit?
Erin S says
I like to slice the steak and then just cook it. You can cut it in chunks, bite size strips or whatever size you like – it will all work great. Enjoy!
Jennifer says
Just made this for the first time and it was SO delicious! I added some crushed red peppers flakes for a little spice. Thanks for sharing!
paisley says
how many does this feed?
Erin S says
4-5 depending on serving size.
Leah says
While my husband and I loved it… my kids not so much. I added some broccoli to the recipe, it was delicious. I will be making this again, even if my kids were/are not fans.
Leah says
While it’s a shame about their passing, why on earth are you posting about your dead grandparents when it literally has nothing to do with this dish?
It’s creepy and extremely off putting.
If you need to vent about their passing do it somewhere more appropriate, not on a food/recipe page.
Erin S says
This is a blog, not the the Food Network website. So I get to write about my life and what is going on at the time. I pay to maintain the website and all the costs associated with it. I get to pick what is write about. And of the whole post there is 2 sentences? Skip it if you don’t want to read it.
Leah says
I understand that, but if you felt the need to talk about them then why not make a blog entry just about your grandparents? It would be more tactful.
Linda says
Leah- You are extremely rude. I find you creepy and off putting. If you need to vent about your dislike do it inside your own head where it’s more appropriate.
Leah says
No, I would’ve been rude if I said something like “no one cares about your grandparents passing, just tell us the recipe.” I didn’t though, I expressed my condolences and simply stated my opinion that there are more respectful/tactful ways to talk about your family members passing than writing about it in a food blog entry.
I appreciate you copying me though.
Myriah says
You go girl! Your recipe is great & so are you. Post whatever you wish on your great site!
lauren says
I had to double the recipe as I am feeling two teenage boys and three others. We all loved it even my picky 6 year. It was quick and easy to make thank you for a wonderful recipe
Jess says
My five-year-old and I enjoyed making this dish! She asks for asian-inspsired dishes all the time. Trouble is, she gets hives just looking at peanuts. So finding a recipe made with simple ingredients we can track to the source (unlike hoisin, fish, or oyster sauce) is essential to her wellbeing. The whole family loved the noodles and I’m sure it’s a dish she’ll make to safely satisfy her lo mein cravings well into the future. Thank you for posting!
Erin S says
So glad your daughter loved it! Thanks!! I have done quite a few Asian recipes (some have peanut butter, some just have peanuts on top you could leave off, some would be safe). If you are looking for more Asian recipes, you might want to see if she finds any others she is interested in. https://dinnersdishesanddesserts.com/better-than-take-out-asian-recipes/
Judy Reamy says
Delicious and easy recipe. Please ignore the ignorant…My condolences on your loss. Thanks for sharing.
Erin S says
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Ben says
Substituted honey for the brown sugar and added some sriracha for a kick. Going to try using rice noodles next time. Yum!
Hazel says
I want to add some blanched broccoli to this dish. Should I make I little extra sauce OR is amount in recipe sufficient to coat all the ingredients? The picture looks so appetizing; I’m gonna make it today.
Erin S says
Hazel, You will probably be fine with the sauce. But my family tends to like things extra saucey, so I would probably make just a little bit extra to mix in. Enjoy!
Hazel says
Erin, thank you so much for responding. I added about 1 1/2 cups of blanched broccoli florets and I increased sauce by half and it was sufficient coverage. It was very yummy. Thank you for recipe.
Kristy Bernardo says
Where in Wisconsin? That’s where I grew up. 🙂
I’m craving these noodles, they look so yummy!
Erin S says
Fun! I grew up right outside of Madison, you?
Jennifer Farley says
I need to make this for dinner tonight!
Jennifer Blake says
Love those asian flavors!
Suzy says
This is all the comfort!
Suzy says
And five stars! What a recipe!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
Such a perfect weeknight dinner! Love all that garlic!
Alyssa | EverydayMaven says
Love this dish! My kids are so excited about it!
Eden Isaac says
This dish totally saved our dinner! I had cooked up some udon noodles to go with another dish, but then it turned out that I was missing a few main ingredients that I thought I had. SO… I quickly hopped onto Pinterest, searched Udon Noodle Recipes, this popped up & I decided to try it since it looked good & I had all of the ingredients.
Well, long story short… It came together in a snap. Seriously, the longest part was slicing the beef & that took no time at all. My husband loved it so much, he said it was better than the original dish I was planning to make. And my 3 year old was gobbling up his bowl. It was just so so good. 🙂
Thank you for the delicious recipe. It’s now going to be a regular in our home.
Also, taking a 14 hour trip twice in a weekend is brutal! But I wouldn’t have dished out $600 per person for plane tickets either. Even if it was just my husband & me. Whew!
Tara says
Can you substitute ground beef for the steak?
Erin S says
I have not done so, but it should work. It will definitely though.
Stephanie says
Delicious! I want to make a batch of just the sauce and noodles!
Shirley says
Delicious! Quick to put together and hubs enjoyed it very much. I used only 1 tablespoon of white sugar since that’s all I had and added a green pepper that was cut into strips. So good!
Deb says
Ended up being too salty for my taste buds, might use low sodium soy sauce next time. It’s a simple, quick tasty meal. I added zucchini for a bit of veg and used spaghetti pasta because that doesn’t bloat or go soggy in sauces if you don’t eat it all straight away.
Jenn says
Erin I’m loving this recipe! Thanks so much for saving the day for dinner tonight!
