Beef stir-fry with spinach and noodles

Beef stir-fry with spinach and noodles is a dish inspired by Asian culinary tradition, especially Chinese cuisine, where stir-frying is a basic and highly valued technique for its speed and fresh flavor. In Latin America, this dish is simply known as "beef stir-fry," although its name may vary by country; for example, in Mexico it might be called "stir-fried meat with vegetables," and in Argentina, it is often referred to as "stir-fried steak with noodles." The combination of fresh ingredients like spinach and water chestnuts along with traditional sauces like hoisin and soy creates a balanced mix of sweet and savory flavors, complemented by the spicy touch of red chili.

This dish reflects the fusion between Asian and Latin American cuisines, adapting its ingredients to those available in each region, making it an ideal option for those seeking a nutritious but quick-to-prepare lunch or dinner, perfect for everyday meals.

How to Prepare Beef Stir-Fry with Spinach and Noodles

Stack the beef steaks.

Cut lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips.
