2 packs ramen (or noodles of choice, 170 grams total)

1 lb flank steak (thinly sliced)

3 cups broccoli florets (chopped into bite sized pieces)

1/4 cup water (for steaming the broccoli)

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp worcestershire

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1/2 cup beef broth (unsalted or low sodium)

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tbsp honey

1 heaping tbsp cornstarch

3 garlic cloves (chopped fine)

1 tbsp fresh ginger (chopped fine)

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

sesame seeds (optional)

green onions (optional)

peanuts (optional)

Directions

Begin by cooking your ramen or noodle of choice. Cook according to package instructions but take it off the heat 2 minutes before it's finished cooking, as it will continue cooking when you add it to the pan.Strain and set aside until ready to use.

Prepare the steak by slicing it into thin, bite sized pieces and add it to a medium sized bowl.(see my tips and faq's above to achieve perfectly sliced beef)Add the sesame oil and worcestershire to the beef and gently mix to combine. Let rest while you prepare everything else.

Wash and chop your broccoli into bite sized pieces and set aside until ready to use.

To a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients (cornstarch last) and whisk until no clumps remain.

To a large frying pan set to medium/high heat, add a splash of canola oil or peanut oil and once hot, add the beef.

Fry the beef for 2-3 minutes, just until browned and cooked to your liking.

Remove the beef from the pan and set aside momentarily, and reduce the heat to medium.

Add the broccoli and water, cover with a lid and allow the broccoli to steam for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to your preferance.

Next, reduce the heat to low/medium, return the beef to the pan, followed by the ramen and pour over the sauce.

Bring to a light simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.Gently toss until everything is mixed together and coated evenly.Taste here to see if you need to adjust the seasoning. (This will depend if you used a salted beef broth and low sodium soy sauce)

Remove from the heat, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions and peanuts.
