Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 150g)
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles without seasoning packets (about 160g)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60ml)
- 3 cups beef broth (720ml)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and grate fresh ginger.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or wide saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring to brown. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add broccoli florets and ramen noodles (break noodles in half if needed). Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until noodles soften and broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Return cooked beef to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Turn off heat. Drizzle sesame oil and sprinkle green onions and optional red pepper flakes on top. Stir gently.
- Serve immediately in bowls, ensuring each serving has beef, broccoli, noodles, and broth.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef to get a good brown crust. Stir garlic and ginger constantly to avoid burning. Break ramen noodles in half if your pot is not wide enough. Simmer gently to keep noodles from becoming mushy and broccoli crisp. Add beef back at the end just to warm through to avoid overcooking.
