**Cinnamon Beef Noodles**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
– 8 oz dried noodles of your choice (such as egg noodles or spaghetti)
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak in a single layer and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes.
4. Add the ground cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
5. Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and hoisin sauce, stirring to coat the steak and vegetables evenly. Cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the noodles through.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the Cinnamon Beef Noodles hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
