A white bowl with blue patterns filled with three main layers: the first layer is a bed of shiny cooked noodles in light brown sauce, the second layer has bright green broccoli florets scattered evenly on top, and the third layer consists of tender brown slices of cooked beef mixed throughout. The dish is sprinkled with red chili flakes and small white sesame seeds for added texture and color. The bowl rests on a white marbled surface with a pair of light wooden chopsticks placed beside it, and a small white dish blurred in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon grated ginger
1/8 teaspoon cracked red pepper flakes
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and sliced into 1 1/2-inch strips (about 1/4-inch thickness)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup water
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the sauce by whisking together soy sauce and cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth. Add beef broth, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cracked red pepper flakes. Whisk well and set aside.
Step 2: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then add to the hot skillet. Cook without stirring for about 3 minutes to brown one side, then stir and cook 2 more minutes until cooked through. Remove steak and discard any excess grease.
Step 4: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and broccoli to the skillet. Pour 1/2 cup water into the pan, cover, and steam for 2 minutes until broccoli is bright green and fork-tender but still crisp.
Step 5: Return the cooked steak and noodles to the skillet.
Step 6: Stir the sauce again, then pour it over the contents in the skillet. Use tongs to toss everything together as the sauce thickens and warms through, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the steak in half the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
You can substitute broccoli with snap peas or green beans if preferred.
Add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for more veggies and color.
Use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles to make this dish gluten-free.
For a spicier version, increase red pepper flakes or add a splash of sriracha sauce.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.

FAQs

Can I use another cut of beef?
