Calories: 334kcal
Ingredients
Sauce
- ¾ cup teriyaki sauce (6 ounces)
- ¼ tablespoon cornstarch
Beef and Noodles
- 6 ounces instant ramen noodles (discard flavor packets), cooked and drained according to package directions (two 3-ounce packages)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided into 2 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon
- 1 pound patio steak, sliced 2 inches long and ¼ inch thick
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into small to medium bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion, optional garnish
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional garnish
Instructions
- Add the teriyaki sauce to a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch and set it aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a 10-12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Allow the oil to heat, and add the sliced steak. Cook 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.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and quickly stir to coat the broccoli.
- Continue stirring the broccoli and add 2 tablespoons of water. Continue stirring until the broccoli is a bright green. Transfer the broccoli to the bowl containing the cooked steak. Return the skillet to the heat.
- Give the teriyaki sauce and cornstarch a quick whisk. Add the sauce to the skillet.
- Return the steak, broccoli, and the cooked, drained ramen to the skillet. Use the tongs to combine all of the ingredients until completely coated.
- Sprinkle it with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion.
- Serve while hot.
Notes
- You don’t need the seasoning packet that comes in the ramen packages. You can either toss them or keep them for another recipe in the future.
- 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.
- If the cooked ramen noodles become a bit stuck together before adding it 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.
