BEEF NOODLE STIR FRY

This quick and easy Beef Noodle Stir Fry takes under 30 minutes and is easily made gluten free!  Full of veggies, beef and a flavorful sauce, your whole family will love it!

Having the rice noodles prepared and beef sliced ahead of time was a time saver – I find that slicing veggies and meat is one of the things that slows me down in the kitchen.  So if you are the kind of person who does meal prep – first of all, I admire you and I wish I was as on top of things as you are.  But also, if you have everything sliced and diced, and the rice noodles already soaked and drained, the actual cooking time of this beef noodle stir fry is about 15 minutes.
