Ingredients

The Beef

  • 2 lbs flank steak sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for coating the beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse seasoning

The Noodles and Vegetables

  • 2 packs ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded
  • 1 bag broccoli florets
  • 1/2 bunch green onions sliced

The Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger grated or minced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

For Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with a splash of water to thicken sauce if needed

Instructions

  • Coat the beef. Toss the sliced flank steak with cornstarch, salt, pepper, and Buttery Steakhouse seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Make the sauce. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, warm water, and sesame oil in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
  • Sear the beef. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and slightly caramelized. Work in batches to avoid crowding. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook the broccoli. In the same pan, add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Cook the noodles. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, discard the seasoning packets, drain, and set aside.
  • Build the dish. Return the beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the beef. If you want a thicker sauce, stir 1 tbsp cornstarch with a splash of water and add it to the pan.
  • Add the noodles. Toss the cooked ramen noodles into the pan and mix everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce.
  • Garnish and serve. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
