Ingredients

3 packs ramen (*seasoning discarded)

1 tsp sesame oil for sautéing

¾ lb flank steak (*see notes)

2 Tbsp dry white wine (*see notes)

2 tsp cornstarch

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp red pepper flakes

½ tsp sesame oil for sautéing

3 baby bok choy, chopped

3 garlic coves, minced

1 inch ginger, minced

1½ cups broccoli, chopped

½ small yellow onion, sliced

1 cup beef broth, low sodium

3 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp oyster sauce

1 Tbsp dry white wine

1½ Tbsp sriracha (*more as needed for heat)

1 tsp white granulated suger (*see notes)

1 tsp corn starch

Directions

Slice the meat into thin strips. Combine the beef and the beef marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl (wine, cornstarch, seasonings). Toss and coat the beef evenly and let marinate for a few minute while preparing the other ingredients (photo 1).

Chop the baby bok choy and broccoli. Combine the "sauce ingredients" in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to mix well to incorporate cornstarch. Set this aside. Prepare noodles according to the packs. If using ramen, do NOT use the flavor packed. Cook the noodles al dente, do not over cook them or they won't crisp up! Drain noodles completely and let them cook and dry a little bit.

In a large wok or frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat. Add the steak, discard any leftover marinade. Let the beef strips lay flat and not over lapping on the hot pan. Let them cook un touched for 1 minute. Quickly toss and sear all sides. Set aside on a plate.

Wipe the pan clean. Add 1 tsp oil. Heat again on medium/high heat. Add the drained noodles to the hot pan. Flatten them gently and cover the circumference of the pan. Let them sit and fry up/harden. Leave them to cook for about 5-7 minutes untouched *please note all noodles will cook differently so use this time as an estimate and keep a watchful eye!

Once the noodles are turning golden and crispy, toss and brown up the other side. Once they are crisped to your liking, distribute them into bowls or into one large bowl for serving.

Add veggies to the hot skillet. Spritz with oil if needed. Let the veggie soften up for about 2-3 minutes. Add the sauce mixture. Turn the heat down to medium/low. The sauce should thicken quickly, stir often for about 2 minuets. add in the beef and take off the heat.

Serve the Beef and Broccoli over the fried noodles. Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce for garnish and enjoy.
