Good Eating Tuesday: Beef & Broccoli Ramen

Today's Good Eating recipe is a quick easy skillet stir fry dish:
Beef & Broccoli Ramen!

I like recipes that use Ramen. The Sauce in this is really the star and I think it would benefit greatly from an additional clove of minced garlic, so I've put that recommendation in the sauce ingredients. Garlic and Ginger enhance one another.

Sliced green onions is another garnish option.

Beef & Broccoli Ramen

Main Ingredients

2 Tablespoons oil, divided

1 lb top sirloin or other cut you like, thinly sliced against grain

1 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar

3 cups of fresh broccoli, cut up 

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 to 3 packets of Ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded

(2 packs will make about 4 servings; 3 packs will serve about 6)

Sauce Ingredients:

1/4 cup water

3/4 cup low sodium beef broth

1 Tablespoon ginger, minced

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

6 Tablespoons oyster sauce (this can be omitted; just add a bit more broth to replace)

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar 

6 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

(I recommend 1 clove garlic, minced)

Sesame seeds for garnish, if desired

Optional: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Sriracha if you like spicy)

Directions: 
Marinate the steak at least one hour ahead of meal preparation, but you may marinate as long as overnight in fridge, depending on your cut of meat.

Marinade: in a med bowl combine 1 Tablepsoon soy sauce, minced garlic,  1 Tablespoon rice vinegar. Add cut up steak.  Refrigerate.

Make sauce: mix all the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.

Cook Ramen according to directions, drain and set aside.

In Skillet:Add 1 Tablespoon oil and add broccoli. Saute over medium heat until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add remaining Tablespoon oil. When pan is almost smoking, add beef. Saute for 1-2 minutes.

Toss in minced garlic and saute with beef 1 minute.

Add broccoli back to skillet along with sauce. Stir and simmer until sauce thickens

Toss in drained Ramen noodles and stir to coat with sauce until well mixed. (I find it helps to cut the Ramen up in the skillet)

Serve immediately with sesame seeds.
