Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until fully combined; add steak slices and coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Cook sweet potato noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes until tender but still chewy), then rinse under cold water and drain well.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized at the edges.
  4. Step 4: Add bell peppers and cook for 2 minutes until crisp-tender, then toss in sweet potato noodles and green onions.
  5. Step 5: Cook for 1 more minute until flavors meld, ensuring noodles are heated through but retain texture.
