Ingredients:
• For the Sauce:
o 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
o 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
o 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
o 1 tablespoon brown sugar
o 1 teaspoon sesame oil
o 1 teaspoon cornstarch
o 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• For the Stir-Fry:
o 8 ounces flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
o 8 ounces wide rice noodles or lo mein noodles
o 3 cups broccoli florets
o 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
o 3 cloves garlic, minced
o 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
o 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
o 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
o Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce:
o In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook the Noodles and Broccoli:
o Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
o In the last 2 minutes of the noodle cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the pot.
o Drain the noodles and broccoli together and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Beef:
o Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
o Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until browned and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables:
o In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
o Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced mushrooms (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Combine Ingredients:
o Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
o Add the drained noodles and broccoli.
o Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
o Toss everything together until the sauce evenly coats the noodles, beef, and broccoli. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
6. Serve:
o Transfer to serving plates.
o Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
o Serve immediately.
Additional Tips:
• Beef Selection: Flank steak is recommended for its tenderness, but sirloin or skirt steak can also be used.
• Noodle Options: Wide rice noodles or lo mein noodles work well. Ensure they are cooked al dente to prevent them from becoming mushy during stir-frying.
• Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for added color and nutrition.
• Spice Level: Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your heat preference.
