- 1 pound of patio steak (sliced 2 inches long and ¼ inch thick)

- 2 tablespoons of water

Substitutions And Additions
HONEY: You can add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
STEAK: You can substitute 1 pound of flank steak for the patio steak if you can’t find patio steak at your local grocery store.
SPICE: Red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce added to the sauce would take the spice up a notch in this tasty recipe.
VEGGIES: You can add other veggies that you enjoy in your stir fry recipes. Try snow peas, bell peppers, bok choy, bean sprouts, or water chestnuts.
VEGETARIAN: If you would like to make this broccoli ramen stir fry recipe vegetarian, you can replace the beef with tofu for a delicious vegetarian option.
OIL: Sesame oil would also work in place of the vegetable oil in this recipe.
How To Make This Beef Ramen Stir Fry Recipe
STEP ONE: Add the teriyaki sauce to a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch and set it aside.
STEP TWO: Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
If you have a wok that you use to make stir fry recipes, you are more than welcome to use it instead of the skillet.
STEP THREE: Allow the oil to heat, and add the sliced steak. Cook beef for 2 minutes before using tongs to turn the meat.
Cook for another 2 minutes before turning again. Once the steak is seared, transfer to a large heat-safe bowl.
STEP FOUR: Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
STEP FIVE: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and quickly stir to coat the broccoli.
STEP SIX: Continue stirring the broccoli and add 2 tablespoons of cold water. Continue stirring until the broccoli is bright green.
Transfer the broccoli to the bowl containing the cooked steak. Return the skillet to the heat.
STEP SEVEN: Give the teriyaki sauce and cornstarch a quick whisk. Add the sauce to the skillet.
STEP EIGHT: Return the steak, broccoli, and cooked, drained ramen to the skillet. Use the tongs to combine all of the ingredients until completely coated.
PRO TIP:
If the cooked ramen noodles become a bit stuck together before adding them to the skillet, you can run warm water over the ramen; just be sure to drain the water off before adding it to the skillet.
Ramen is a very forgiving and easy noodle to handle.
STEP NINE: Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Serve while hot.
