Beef Pad Thai is a fun twist on the classic noodle stir-fry dish! It gives the dish a huge protein boost without making it greasy. Don’t skimp on the homemade Pad Thai sauce also!
Whisk together sauce ingredients until smooth and combined well.
Cook rice noodles according to package. Some require boiling while others recommend just soaking in hot water. No matter the method, rinse with cold water to prevent over-cooking.
In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, add oil and ground beef. Use a wood spatula or spoon to break up the ground beef as it cooks and browns. Brown the beef until fully cooked.
Add onions to the beef and cook until the onions soften, 3-4 minutes.
Move the beef and onion mixture to one side and add a small drizzle of oil to the skillet if it’s dry. Add eggs and cook until scrambled, maybe one minute.
Add rice noodles to the skillet along with bean sprouts, scallions, and sauce. Toss together well.
Add half of the peanuts to the pad thai and toss together well. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Plate up the pad thai immediately and garnish with extra scallion and peanuts.
