This post may contain affiliate links.
Thin strips of steak are cooked in an easy homemade Korean BBQ Sauce & added to a bowl of rice noodles for a quick & delicious dinner recipe!
I’m back with another edition of “What did Whitney put Korean BBQ Sauce on this week?” 😉
But seriously, this sauce would be good on a shoe, ok maybe not a shoe, but it sure is tasty on Slow Cooked Korean BBQ Meatballs, Grilled Korean BBQ Salmon and my personal favorite, Slow Cooked Korean BBQ Chicken Tacos!
The best part is, the sauce is super easy to make, so you can have this Korean BBQ Beef & Noodle Bowl on the table for dinner in under 30 minutes!
It’s sweet, spicy, saucy and oh-so-scrumptious!
Korean BBQ Sauce Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup soy sauce (Tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup mirin
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tbsp chili paste
- ½ tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Beef & Noodle Bowl Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 green onions (sliced into 1 inch sections)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
In a large saucepan combine the first 10 ingredients of the BBQ sauce and bring to a boil, cook 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Add this mixture to the boiling sauce. Whisk to combine well, reduce heat to medium and cook 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off and set the sauce aside.
Slice the steak into thin strips, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cornstarch and brown sugar. Toss to coat well.
Add the sesame oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the sauce, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add the green onions during the last minute of cooking.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the rice noodles according to package directions, generally 2-3 minutes in boiling water will do the trick.
Add the noodles to a bowl and top with the Korean BBQ sauce and beef.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
Better than takeout AND in less time, a combination that can’t be beat!

Absolutely LOVE this excellent recipe! If someone bought a food truck setup and simply served this one dish they would have a line down the street every day! It’s that good! I like to char grill the steak, the extra little crunch contrasting with the rice noodles and sauce..yumm! Heavenly! I use medium width rice noodles, being sure to rinse them in cold water once aldente to insure they don’t clump. I then toss. Them in the skillet to re-warm with the steak. I’ve made this at least a dozen times now over the last couple years and I never tire of it. It’s one of those sweet/savory/bbq type dishes that is always appealing. Thank you for the great recipe!
This recipe sounds really good. The ingredient does not list the rice rice noodles. What size package of rice noodles is recommend? Dried, fresh, etc?
An awesome meal for/from my peeps! Love seeing the “Korean” inspired dishes, Whitney! 🙂
Haha you know it! I only learned from the best 😉
