Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 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

For the Stir Fry:

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Sauce : In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Noodles : Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, omitting the seasoning packets. Drain, toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  3. Cook the Beef : Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the beef strips with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Stir Fry the Broccoli : In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup water, cover the skillet, and steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate.
  5. Combine Everything : Reduce the heat to medium. Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the Noodles : Gently toss in the cooked ramen noodles, making sure everything is well coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
  7. Garnish and Serve : Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
