Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (for flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

Noodles

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (without seasoning packets)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Begin by slicing the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces to ensure tenderness and quick cooking.
  2. Prep the broccoli: Wash the broccoli florets under cold water and chop them into manageable, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  3. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, ready for stir-frying.
  4. Sear the beef: Add the sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. Let it sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then stir and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until browned but still tender.
  5. Remove the beef: Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside to keep warm.
  6. Sauté aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot skillet, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant and aromatic.
  7. Cook the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 to 4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender but still crisp.
  8. Cook ramen noodles: While the broccoli cooks, boil the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  9. Combine beef and sauce: Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli, then pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle the brown sugar. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  10. Add noodles: Toss the cooked ramen noodles into the skillet and gently mix with the beef and broccoli, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
  11. Adjust seasoning and garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
  12. Serve: Serve the Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry hot and enjoy a flavorful, quick, and nourishing meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
  • To add more heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle chili oil when adding the sauce.
  • Flank steak is preferred for its tenderness, but sirloin works well too.
  • Make sure not to overcook the broccoli to keep its vibrant color and crunch.
  • If you want a vegetarian alternative, substitute beef with firm tofu or mushrooms and adjust cooking time accordingly.
