Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340 grams) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 cups (about 300 grams) fresh broccoli florets
- 8 ounces (225 grams) egg noodles or linguine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for searing beef)
Instructions
- Thinly slice 12 ounces of flank steak against the grain and chop 3 cups of broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince 3 cloves of garlic and grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. This prep takes about 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in 2 cups beef broth, ⅓ cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir to combine. Add 8 ounces of egg noodles, ensuring they are submerged. Cover with a lid, bring to a low boil, and cook for 8 minutes.
- After noodles soften, stir in broccoli florets and return the browned beef to the skillet. Cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and beef is cooked through.
- Remove lid, drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the top, and gently toss everything together. Adjust seasoning as desired and sprinkle sliced green onions and red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Cook beef in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure a good sear. Keep noodles submerged during cooking and add more broth if liquid evaporates too fast. Use fresh broccoli for best texture. Adjust red pepper flakes for desired heat. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and use gluten-free noodles. For low-carb, swap noodles for spiralized zucchini or shirataki noodles.
