Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom ½ inch of the broccoli stem; roughly chop the broccoli. Roughly chop the peanuts.
Fill a large bowl with ice water; add a pinch of salt. Set aside. Add the snow peas and chopped broccoli to the pot of boiling water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Leaving the pot of water boiling, using a slotted spoon or tongs, immediately transfer the cooked vegetables to the bowl of ice water. Let stand until cool. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned and just cooked through. Turn off the heat.
While the beef cooks, add the noodles to the same pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking. Return to the pot.
To the pot of cooled noodles, add the shocked vegetables, cooked beef (discarding any excess oil), sesame oil, soy sauce, and black bean-chile sauce. Stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished beef and noodles garnished with the chopped peanuts and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Prepare as directed. Transfer the finished beef and noodles to an airtight container. Cool, uncovered, then cover and refrigerate. Transfer the chopped peanuts to a zip-top bag; set aside. When ready to serve, stir 2 tablespoons of hot water into the noodles to loosen and coat (if necessary, gradually add up to 2 more tablespoons of hot water to ensure the noodles are thoroughly coated). Serve as directed. Enjoy!
