Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Beef: Combine flank steak with soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together water, beef broth, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and Sriracha until combined.
  3. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Boil water and prepare ramen noodles according to package instructions (3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet, add broccoli, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Sauté the Beef: In the same skillet, add marinated beef and cook for 1-2 minutes until browned, stirring in minced garlic for an additional minute.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Add sautéed broccoli and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Add the Noodles: Toss cooked ramen noodles into the skillet and stir to coat with sauce. Warm through for about a minute.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat, serve immediately, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For best results, allow beef to marinate longer for enhanced flavors. Adjust spice levels based on family preferences.
