Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped into bite-size pieces

Noodles

  • 8 oz egg noodles or lo mein noodles, cooked al dente and drained

Sauce & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or canola) for stir-frying

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and fresh ginger. Cook noodles according to package instructions until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat a splash of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the beef slices for 2-3 minutes until browned but not overcooked. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Broccoli and Aromatics: In the same pan, add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Combine Sauce and Noodles: Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the drained noodles. Toss everything together until noodles absorb the sauce and ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once thoroughly heated and combined, plate the dish hot. Optionally garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain to ensure it cooks quickly and remains tender.
  • Avoid overcooking broccoli to keep it crisp-tender and flavorful.
  • Use high heat while stir-frying for authentic seared flavor and quick cooking.
  • Cook noodles al dente to prevent mushy texture in the final dish.
  • Mix sauce ingredients beforehand for efficient cooking and balanced flavor.
  • Frozen broccoli can be used if thawed and drained properly to avoid watery sauce.
  • For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free noodles like rice noodles.
  • To add heat, include red pepper flakes while cooking or drizzle with sriracha before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
  • This dish freezes well; store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
