Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 8 oz thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles or lo mein noodles
Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Cooking Oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Optional
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop the fresh broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and ginger. Boil the noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, broth, cornstarch slurry, and sugar until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and sear quickly until browned but not overcooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Broccoli, Garlic, and Ginger: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Stir-fry the broccoli florets with minced garlic and ginger until broccoli turns bright green and just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, add the cooked noodles, and toss gently to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce and meld flavors.
- Final Touches: Toss everything one last time and taste for seasoning. Adjust with a splash of soy sauce or sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Your Beef Broccoli Noodles are ready to serve!
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh broccoli and quality beef improve flavor and texture.
- Avoid overcooking beef to keep it tender and juicy.
- Cook noodles al dente for best texture.
- Make a double batch of sauce for leftovers or a saucier dish.
- Preheat your pan or wok for better searing and crisp vegetables.
