Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or thinly sliced beef (like flank steak)
  • 3 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles:
    • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
    • Cook the ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the beef:
    • Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add the ground beef or sliced beef and cook until browned.
    • Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
    • Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli until tender-crisp (about 3-4 minutes).
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Make the sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and water or beef broth.
  5. Combine everything:
    • Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
    • Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine.
    • Add the cooked ramen noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Tips for Customization:

  • Add heat: Stir in sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Switch veggies: Use snow peas, mushrooms, or carrots for variety.
  • Protein options: Substitute beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different twist.
  • Gluten-free: Use rice noodles and gluten-free soy sauce.
