Make a complete, flavorful beef and broccoli meal with ramen noodles cooked directly in the sauce using only one pot for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced beef in a bowl. Toss the beef with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and the sesame oil. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the same pot. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and Sriracha (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the broccoli florets to the simmering liquid. Cook for 3 minutes until the broccoli starts to become tender-crisp.
  6. Add the ramen noodle blocks to the pot. Break them up slightly if needed to fit. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the pot. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles and beef, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use flank steak or skirt steak, cut thinly against the grain.
  • If you prefer a soupier dish, increase the beef broth by 1 cup.
  • You can substitute regular sugar for brown sugar if needed.
