Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:
- 6-9 oz cooked noodles I used 6 oz of ramen. See notes for alternatives
- 1-1½ pounds flank steak See notes for substitutions
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil or olive oil, avocado oil, or butter
- 4-6 cups broccoli florets
- 3 garlic cloves minced
For the Stir Fry Sauce:
- ½ cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar or sweetener, adjust to taste
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Season the steak slices with smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Broccoli: Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil (or your preferred oil). Add the broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they become bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
- Cook the Steak: In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary and cook the seasoned flank steak slices over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the beef for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Make the Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry, then stir this into the sauce mixture.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked broccoli and noodles to the pan with the beef. Pour the stir fry sauce over everything and toss to coat. Let the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes while stirring everything together. Serve warm and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
