- Transfer the beef to a plate and keep it warm, covered or in a 350°F oven.
- In the same pan, sauté the white parts of the green onions and the vegetables, adding more oil as needed.
- Boil the noodles for 3 minutes or according to the package directions, then rinse them with cold water.
- Add the noodles and most of the peanut sauce to the vegetables and toss for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately while hot.
- Plate the noodles, top with a scoop of beef, and garnish with the green onion tops and plenty of black pepper. Drizzle with remaining peanut sauce if desired.
