Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 packages (9 oz/255g) instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 4 cups (340g) broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup (80ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the sauce and noodles In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, red pepper flakes (if using), and beef broth until completely smooth with no lumps. Set aside. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions but reduce the cooking time by 1 minute to keep them slightly firm. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with 1 teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Prepare the beef Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help create a beautiful sear and thicken the sauce in your Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry.
- Step 3: Cook the beef Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add beef in a single layer (working in batches if necessary) and let it sear undisturbed for 1 minute before stirring. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Step 4: Cook the vegetables In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add white parts of green onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. If the pan seems dry, add 2 tablespoons of water and cover for 1 minute to create steam.
- Step 5: Combine and finish Return beef to the pan with any accumulated juices. Give the sauce another whisk and pour it into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns glossy. Add the cooked ramen noodles and toss everything together until well coated and heated through. Garnish with reserved green onion tops before serving your delicious Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry.
