Instruções

Prepare Ingredients

Chop broccoli into even, bite-size pieces. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips, then cut into 2-inch pieces. Toss the steak pieces with cornstarch in a bowl.

Cook Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Once oil is hot, add half the beef, spacing it out in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 1 minute, until well seared. Stir and cook until lightly browned but still slightly pink, about 40 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef and oil, then transfer to the plate.

Make The Sauce

In the same pan, add the beef broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook over high heat, uncovered, until the sauce boils and thickens slightly; this takes about 5–8 minutes. Make sure there’s enough sauce to coat the noodles and broccoli. See note 3.

Add Broccoli

Once the sauce is reduced, evenly place the broccoli on top without stirring it in. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and steam the broccoli about 2–4 minutes.

Cook Ramen

Discard seasoning packets that come with the ramen noodles. While the broccoli steams, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water for 10 seconds. Shake off any excess water and set aside.

Combine and Serve

Remove the lid from the pan, add the drained ramen and cooked beef to the sauce and broccoli. Gently toss everything to coat well. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
