Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 200g thinly sliced flank or sirloin steak

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Noodles

  • 150g egg noodles, rice noodles, or spaghetti

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Extra sesame oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef and Vegetables: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and ginger to create a fragrant base flavor.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Boil your chosen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside while preparing the stir-fry.
  3. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat a splash of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the beef slices until browned but still juicy, then remove from the pan to prevent overcooking.
  4. Cook the Broccoli and Aromatics: In the same pan, add minced garlic, ginger, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry until the broccoli turns bright green and is tender-crisp.
  5. Combine Everything with Sauce: Return the beef to the pan, add the cooked noodles, and pour in the sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and optional chili flakes. Toss everything together until heated through and evenly coated with sauce.
  6. Serve Immediately: Plate the Beef Broccoli Noodles while hot and garnish with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or a drizzle of extra sesame oil as desired.

Notes

  • Choose flank or sirloin steak for tender, quick-cooking beef.
  • Cook beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and steaming.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Cook broccoli until tender-crisp to maintain texture and color.
  • Toss noodles in the sauce immediately after cooking to ensure even coating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze beef and broccoli separately from noodles to preserve texture when reheating.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to keep sauce loose and avoid drying out.
