Chinese Beef and Broccoli Noodles Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Beef:
  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
• For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (for thickening)
• For the Stir-Fry:
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • 8 oz (225g) noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or soba)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

• In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

2. Cook the Noodles:

• Boil the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, broth, and cornstarch until smooth.

4. Stir-Fry the Beef:

• Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then stir-fry the marinated beef in batches until browned and cooked through (2-3 minutes per side). Remove the beef and set aside.

5. Cook the Vegetables:

• In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and stir-fry the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Combine:

• Add the cooked beef back into the skillet along with the cooked noodles. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to coat evenly.

7. Garnish and Serve:

• Top with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Substitute noodles: You can use udon, ramen, or even spaghetti if you don’t have the traditional noodles on hand.
• Add veggies: You can include carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
• Make it spicy: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha if you like your stir-fry with a kick.
