How to Make Beef and Broccoli Ramen
Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Toss sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add beef and cook quickly until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Make the Sauce
Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper, and chili flakes.
Combine Everything
Return beef to the pan. Add noodles and sauce. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
How to Serve
Serve hot topped with green onions and sesame seeds. Add extra chili sauce if you like spice.
Tips for Best Results
Slice beef thin for tenderness. Don’t overcook broccoli—keep it crisp. Use high heat for best stir fry flavor. Add sauce gradually to coat evenly.
Variations
Use chicken, shrimp, or tofu instead of beef. Add extra vegetables for a healthier version. Make it spicy with sriracha or chili paste. Use soba noodles instead of ramen.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water or soy sauce.
Final Thoughts
Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry is a quick, savory, and satisfying meal that brings takeout-style flavor straight to your kitchen in minutes.
