Step 1
Cook rice vermicelli in boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add beef in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 90 seconds, then flip and cook another 90 seconds until edges brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add bell pepper and chili to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until peppers soften and char slightly at the edges.
Step 5
Return beef to the pan. Pour in soy sauce and fish sauce, toss to coat. Cook 1 minute until the surface looks glossy.
Step 6
Divide noodles between two bowls. Top with beef and peppers, arrange avocado slices alongside, drizzle with peanut sauce, and serve with a lime wedge.
