Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry Ingredients

• two 3.5 oz packages of instant ramen noodles (discard the seasonings)
• 1 lb broccoli (cut into 6 cups florets)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil (divided)
• 1 lb flank steak (thinly sliced)
• 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds – for garnish (optional)
• 2 tablespoons of chives – for garnish (optional)

For the stir-fry sauce:

• 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
• 3 cloves of garlic (grated)
• 6 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup of warm water
• 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of corn starch
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

How to Make Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry

Step 1:

Cook the ramen noodles so they’re ready when needed. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Use your spatula to break them up. Drain, then rinse with cold water so it won’t continue to cook. Set it aside for later.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, 6 cups of broccoli, and 2 tablespoons of water. Place the lid and sauté for about 4 minutes. Cook until crisp and tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a dish.

Step 4:

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add beef in a single layer, then sauté for 2 minutes on each side, lowering the heat to medium-low.

Step 5:

Give the sauce a quick stir, then pour into the pan with the beef. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6:

Bring back the broccoli and add the cooked noodles. Stir to combine well. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin it out. Serve with sesame seeds and chives. Enjoy!
