Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup oyster sauce
  • ½ cup honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak or sirloin
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • ⅛ cup diced garlic
  • ⅛ cup diced fresh ginger
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets
  • 16 ounces noodles (spaghetti or lo mein)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar. Add the thinly sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. Stir-Fry the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onions, garlic, and fresh ginger, and sauté for about 2 minutes.
  4. Sear the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the skillet, sear for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the Broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  6. Create the Sauce: Mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and ground ginger in a separate bowl, then pour over the beef and broccoli.
  7. Thicken the Sauce: Whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then drizzle into the skillet while stirring. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
  8. Add the Noodles: Toss the cooked noodles with the beef and broccoli mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste test and adjust seasonings as necessary.
