Directions
  1. Prepare the steak: Add the flank steak to a medium-sized bowl. Top with the baking soda, salt, and pepper.
  2. Using tongs, massage the ingredients into the meat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Make the teriyaki sauce: Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, and ginger to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the ingredients together.
  4. Bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by one third. Set the sauce aside.
  5. Start the stir-fry: Fill a large pot with water and add the salt and 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Bring the water to a boil.
  6. Add the chow mein noodles, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Strain the noodles into a bowl and reserve the cooking water.
  8. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a wok and place over medium-high heat.
  9. Sear the beef in two batches on both sides until browned, approximately 1 ½ minutes per side.
  10. Set the beef aside.
  11. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the broccoli, snow peas, peppers, and mushrooms to the wok.
  12. Top with a ladle of the reserved noodle water. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  13. Add the beef, noodles, and teriyaki sauce to the wok and stir.
  14. Add the scallions and sesame seeds. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes, until the vegetables are al dente.
