Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with a tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Toss well to ensure each piece is coated, then allow this mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the beef marinates, whisk together in a separate bowl the cornstarch, water, beef broth, minced ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce, low sodium soy sauce, additional rice vinegar, brown sugar, and Sriracha if desired. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, typically around 3-4 minutes until they're tender but still chewy. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender. Avoid overcooking.
  5. In the same skillet, increase the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking for 1-2 minutes until browned on one side. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  6. Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet with the cooked beef. Quickly pour in the prepared sauce and stir everything together, letting it simmer for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Finally, add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, using tongs or a spatula to gently toss and coat them with the delicious beef and broccoli mixture. Stir-fry for an additional minute to heat through.
