Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided
  • 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (plus 6 tablespoons for the sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (plus 2 tablespoons for the sauce)
  • 3 cups broccoli
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 packets ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded (3 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, to taste)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Step-by-step Directions

1. Prepare the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together water, beef broth, minced ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and Sriracha until well combined. Set aside.

2. Marinate the Beef

In another medium bowl, combine the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. Let it marinate for 1 hour or leave it overnight in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.

3. Cook the Ramen Noodles

Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and sauté until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

5. Cook the Beef

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same skillet. Add the marinated beef and sauté quickly until just browned, about 1-2 minutes. Add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute.

6. Combine and Simmer

Add the cooked broccoli back into the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

7. Add Noodles and Serve

Toss the cooked ramen noodles into the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the sauce. Serve the stir-fry immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if using.

Tips for Storage & Reheating

  • It’s best to store the noodles and sauce separately if possible to prevent the noodles from becoming too soft.
