Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced sirloin, flank steak, or top round beef
  • Fresh broccoli florets
  • Instant ramen noodles
  • Beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • Fresh ginger
  • Garlic
  • Soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
  • Toasted sesame oil
  • Non-alcoholic rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Chili garlic sauce or sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Thinly slice your beef against the grain into bite-sized pieces. If you plan to marinate, do it now for at least 10-15 minutes. Chop your broccoli into small florets. Mince your fresh ginger and garlic. Have your beef broth, soy sauce, and non-alcoholic rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) measured out and ready to go.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once hot, add your thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. If needed, add another teaspoon of oil to the pot. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Build the Broth: Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and non-alcoholic rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar). Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the Broccoli: Once the broth is simmering, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Add your ramen noodles to the simmering soup. Follow the package directions for cooking time, typically 2-3 minutes. Stir gently to ensure the noodles cook evenly.
  7. Return the Beef and Finish: Once the noodles are cooked, return the seared beef to the pot. Stir gently to combine and heat the beef through for about 1 minute. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Drizzle a little toasted sesame oil over each bowl and sprinkle with sliced green onions or sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
