Hoisin Beef and Broccoli Ramen Bowls

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 3 instant ramen noodles
• 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 lb broccoli crowns
• 3 clove garlic
• 1 oz fresh ginger root
• 1/2 bunch green onions / scallions
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Method

1. 1

   Slice the flank steak thinly ACROSS the grain; cut with the grain and it will be chewy however briefly you cook it. Toss the slices with the cornstarch.

2. 2

   Boil the noodle blocks 2 minutes, discarding the seasoning packets, then drain and rinse under cold water.

3. 3

   Stir the hoisin, soy sauce and sesame oil together with 3 tablespoons of water.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat and sear the beef in two batches, about 90 seconds each, so the pan stays hot. Move it to a plate.

5. 5

   Add the broccoli florets with a splash of water, cover, and steam 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Return the beef, add the noodles and the sauce, and toss over high heat for 2 minutes until glossy. Top with sliced scallions.
