Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced thin
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 oz noodles (lo mein or udon)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain for tenderness. Mince the garlic and ginger, and set aside. Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and cut them into bite-sized pieces if necessary. If you are using dried noodles, cook them according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef sirloin in a single layer. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes, without stirring, until it is browned on one side. Flip the beef and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it is just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to prevent burning, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic and ginger mixture. Stir-fry the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes until it turns bright green and is tender-crisp. If needed, you can add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.
- Once the broccoli is cooked, return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring that the beef and broccoli are well coated in the sauce and heated through.
- Finally, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles are well mixed with the beef, broccoli, and sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. You can garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy your Asian Beef Broccoli with Noodles!
