The Ultimate Broccoli Beef Ramen

Broccoli Beef Ramen
This savory broccoli beef ramen dish is inspired by the recipe at the site Chelsea’s Messy Apron here, so check it out for a sweeter version.)
Step by Step Instructions:

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Broccoli Beef Ramen is totally stellar, and here’s everything you’ll need to enjoy it: Sesame Oil, Honey, 4 cups of Broccoli florets, Red Wine Vinegar, Peanut Oil (or vegetable oil), Reduced-sodium Soy Sauce, Beef Broth, Red Pepper Flakes, Cornstarch, Hoisin Sauce, Salt & Pepper, 3/4 to 1 pound Flank Steak, Flat Leaf Parsley, Brown Sugar, 6 ounces Ramen Noodles, 3 Garlic Cloves, and Fresh Ginger.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
To begin this Broccoli Beef Ramen, we need to marinate the meat, so I like to place the steak on paper towels so it’s easier to slice.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Begin by thinly slicing the steak against the grain, so that it’s about 1/4 inch thick.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then cut each slice into about 2-inch slices.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Grab a large plastic bag and transfer the steak to it.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Now it’s time to make the marinade, so mince your garlic.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Now grab a small handful of parsley and wash and dry the leaves.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then give the parsley a rough chop.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of peanut oil, the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/8 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and then 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then whisk to combine the marinade.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Add the marinade to the bag with the steak, seal it, toss the steak with the marinade and then place it in a dish. Put the dish in the refrigerator and marinate for 1-12 hours and then give the mixture a toss about halfway through. I marinated mine about 2 hours, because I was in a hurry and it was lovely.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
So as you start to get ready to put the Broccoli Beef Ramen together, finish prepping your ingredients by grating 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Remove the peel with a spoon, and then grate over a microplane grate for best results.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Now mince the remaining 2 cloves of garlic, and then set them to the side.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Wash and thinly slice 2 green onions, so you have it for topping the Broccoli Beef Ramen.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, and then add the ramen and cook it for 2 minutes.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Drain the ramen and immediately rinse it with cold water, so it will stop cooking. Give it a couple of minutes and then drizzle a little sesame oil over the pasta and then toss it with your hands so it’s well coated and won’t dry out.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Once your meat has marinated, add about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to a dish and then transfer the beef to the dish shaking off as much marinade as possible.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then toss to coat the beef with the corn starch.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Heat a tablespoon of oil over high heat, and then once the oil is nice and hot you’re good to go.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Add about half of the beef in a single layer to the hot pan and let it cook on one side for about a minute and a half. Be really careful as the oil will splatter a fair amount, so stand back and let it cook untouched.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then flip the beef carefully and let it cook another 30 seconds.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a plate and then repeat with the remaining beef.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then in the same pan, cook the sauce over medium heat by adding 1 cup of beef broth, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, the teaspoon of grated ginger and 1/4 cup of Hoisin sauce.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Bring the sauce to a boil and then let it reduce by about 1/3 for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Once the sauce has reduced, place the broccoli in a single layer over the top of the sauce, and then reduce the heat to medium low.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then cover and steam for about 4 minutes.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Once the broccoli has steamed, then turn off the heat.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Then to finish off the Broccoli Beef Ramen, add the ramen and cooked beef to the pan.

Broccoli Beef Ramen
Finally toss the Broccoli Beef Ramen together and serve right away. I wanted to top mine with some sliced green onions and red pepper flakes, because I wanted extra spice and a light onion flavor to finish it off. This Broccoli Beef Ramen can be enjoyed right away, and be prepared for maximum flavor and lots of happy bellies! So happy stir frying!

Ingredients
  

Beef:

  • 1/4 cup Peanut Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/8 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 t. Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian flat leaf Parsley roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3/4 pound Flank Steak
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Oil

Stir Fry:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 t. Sesame Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 T. Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh Ginger
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 packages 3 oz each Ramen Noodles
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional Toppings: Green Onions Red Pepper Flakes, Sesame Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Begin by thinly slicing the flank steak and then cut the slices into about 2-inch pieces. Then place the steak in a plastic ziplock bag.
  •  
  • Then mix up the marinade by whisking together 1/4 cup peanut oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1/8 cup of honey, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of roughly chopped parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  •  
  • Add the marinade to the plastic bag and seal, then use your hands to mix the marinade with the steak. Place the bag in a dish and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 12 hours, and toss the steak with the marinade about halfway through the time in the refrigerator.
  •  
  • When the steak is finished marinating, remove it from the bag and shake off the marinade. Then toss it with about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, which will help thicken the sauce.
  •  
  • Before you cook the beef, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil and cook the 2 packages of ramen noodles (toss the seasoning packets in the trash) for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, and then toss with a little sesame oil to keep the pasta from sticking and it infuses it with serious flavor!
  •  
  • Heat a pan over high heat and add a tablespoon of peanut oil to the pan. Once it’s hot, add half of the beef to the pan and let it sit in an even layer, unstirred for about 90 seconds. Then carefully flip the beef and continue to cook the beef for another 30 seconds. Transfer the steak to a plate and add another tablespoon of peanut oil and repeat the steps with the remaining uncooked beef.
  •  
  • Using the same pan, add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 cup of bed broth, and 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce.
  •  
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, and let it reduce for for about 8 minutes. Then add the broccoli to the pan, turn the heat to medium-low and cover. Allow the broccoli to steam on top of the sauce for about 4 minutes or until it’s to your desired doneness.
  •  
  • Finally add the ramen and steak to the pan and toss all of the ingredients together. Serve right away and top with green onions and red pepper flakes and enjoy!

Notes

Quick Tip #1: Marinate the beef up to 12 hours in advance, flipping once to save you time. 
Quick Tip #2: Buy broccoli florets pre cut and washed and then just trim the florets to bite-sized pieces for another time saver.
