Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 3 packages (9 oz/255g total) instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
  • 4 cups (340g) broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 green onions, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and red pepper flakes. Slice beef against the grain and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Boil ramen noodles for 2 minutes until slightly undercooked. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (working in batches if necessary) and sear for 1 minute, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry broccoli for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. If needed, add 2 tablespoons water and cover briefly to steam. Transfer to the plate with beef.
  5. Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry white parts of green onions, garlic, and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the sauce and simmer, stirring constantly as it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return beef and broccoli to the pan, along with the cooked ramen. Toss everything together to coat with sauce and heat through, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with green onion tops and serve immediately.
