Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

• 8 ounces flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the Sauce

• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional for heat)
• 1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. This step helps tenderize the meat.

2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for 2 minutes, just until slightly soft. Drain and set aside. Do not overcook, as they will finish cooking in the stir fry.

3. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, beef broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

4. Stir Fry the Beef: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat. Add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

5. Cook the Broccoli: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Add garlic and ginger, stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the pan, then pour in the sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly. Add the cooked ramen noodles and toss until well combined and coated in sauce. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For Extra Crunch: Add bell peppers or snap peas for more texture.
• Make It Spicy: Add extra sriracha, red pepper flakes, or chili oil.
• Protein Variations: Swap beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
• Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles instead of ramen.

This Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry is a perfect balance of savory, slightly sweet, and umami-rich flavors that will have you craving more. Quick, easy, and absolutely delicious!
