While the beef marinates, prepare the noodles according to package directions. If using fresh wide rice noodles, they may only need to be separated. If using dried, boil until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Increase the heat to high. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add half of the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Remove the cooked beef and set aside. Repeat with the remaining beef.
