Ingredients
- Flank steak or sirloin (or any cut of beef)
- Instant ramen noodles (or whole wheat or egg noodles as a substitute)
- Fresh garlic (or garlic powder if in a pinch)
- Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- Bell peppers
- Broccoli
- Snap peas
- Sesame oil (or olive oil as a substitute)
Instructions
- Begin by slicing your beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness when cooked. Mince the garlic and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, keeping a bit of the noodle water for later.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if needed, then add minced garlic and your chopped vegetables. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and add a splash of the reserved noodle water to create a little sauce. Stir everything together for another 2 minutes.
- Finally, toss in the cooked ramen noodles, mixing well to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional minute or two until everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired, and enjoy your Garlic Soy Beef and Ramen Noodles!
