Cooking Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry:

8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz lo mein or spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained

For the Sauce:

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup water

Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef

In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it sit while you prep the other ingredients—this helps tenderize the beef and give it a velvety texture when cooked.

2. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and water. Set aside.

3. Sear the Beef

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli

Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until it begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

5. Combine and Stir Fry

Return the beef to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything evenly.

6. Serve Immediately

Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the stir fry sauce.
Veggie Boost: Toss in carrots, bell peppers, or snow peas for extra color and crunch.
Low-Carb Option: Swap noodles for zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles.
