Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry
Everyone’s favorite beef and broccoli turned into the easiest stir fry noodles EVER! It’s even better as leftovers!
They say that we’re in the middle of one of the strongest storms to hit Southern California in several years.
So Butters and I are staying in.
With the occasional walks here and there.
Just so he can wear this.
And be completely fashion forward for 2017.
But when we’re home, we’re binge-watching Lost.
In bed. With sweats. Socks. And. These ramen noodles.
And yes, it yields 6.
But really. It’s 6. For one.
Because this is the most appropriate rain-weather-dinner without ordering take-out.
Beef and Broccoli Ramen Stir Fry
Everyone’s favorite beef and broccoli turned into the easiest stir fry noodles EVER! It’s even better as leftovers!
Ingredients
- 2 5.6-ounce packages refrigerated Yaki-Soba, seasoning sauce packets discarded*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
For the sauce
- ¾ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¾ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, honey, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, cornstarch, ginger, Sriracha and 1/2 cup water; set aside.
- In a large pot of boiling water, add Yaki-Soba until loosened, about 1-2 minutes; drain well.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and cook, flipping once, until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in Yaki-Soba, broccoli and soy sauce mixture until broccoli is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
*Yaki-Soba is ramen-style noodles and can be found in the refrigerated aisle of your local grocery store.

The fresh ginger was outstanding. Made as directed except could only find dry Korean soba noodles. The noodles soaked up a good bit of the sauce and I was happy with the consistency. I can see where others think it’s salty but I had extra noodles (14 oz). And I have leftovers for tonight – yay!
Love your beef broccoli ramen stir fry recipe. I’ll definitely try it, but instead of 1/4 cup honey i’ll use 1/3! I found your post from Pinterest! Thanks for sharing, Chungah!
My husband is sensitive to corn, do you have any recommendations for a corn starch substitute? We love Asian food but have been very limited due to many of the recipes use cornstarch.
I am sorry to hear that! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Hello!
I’ve made this twice and love it BUT I was wondering how you get the sauce so thick? I’ve tried draining the noodles and meat completely but the sauce is still pretty wet and runny. Should I let it cool down more?
Thanks!
You can add additional cornstarch as needed until the desired consistency is reached. Hope that helps!
Wow, love it! Looks fabulous!
Ahaha ‘its 6. For 1.’ Girl after my own heart.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Made this tonight and I wouldn’t change a single think.
Nice and flavorful and very easy to make.
It’s a keeper – highly recommend it! 🙂
OMG. It looks so DELICIOUS!
Can I use rice vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar? What’s the difference?
It is simply a difference in labeling, rice wine vinegar and rice vinegar are the same. So you can use whichever one is available to you 🙂
Perfect! Thanks! 🙂
easy to modify depending on what’s around the house. thanks for sharing.
This looks amazing! I cannot wait to try it 🙂
Gah I made this last night. So good. There was only a tiny bit left but I save it anyway and just stirrried in a bit more broccoli added a little soy and some more noodles. This will definitely be in dinner rotation.
Mmmmmm..This looks so good! I will try it
Thank CHUNGAH
Please come live with me! I need your food daily!
Do you think marinating the steak in the sauce first is a good idea?
There’s no need to unless you really want to! 🙂
I made this and it came out a little salty but my husband and brother loved it. I added about a teaspoon more cornstarch to thicken the sauce a little more. I would make this again. Next time I might consider boiling the sauce in a separate sauce pan before adding it to the noodles and broccoli so it can thicken up first. Also, I want to try making it with lo mein noodles next time.
If I use Ramen should I cook it first, or just put in hot water for a few mins.?
Yes, you should cook it first.
Watching the video, the sauce looks lighter in color than the photo. Is something else added to achieve that rich caramel color sauce?
Thank you for your quick reply Chungah!
Hi,
Thanks so much for sharing all your delicious recipes.
I noticed that you do not use non-stick pans and yet food do not stick onto the bottom of the pan.
Can you recommend me what type of pans you use?
Thanks.
I use cast iron skillets! 🙂
Hi Chungah,
Made this last night and it was super. My husband couldn’t stop eating out of the pan even tho he said he was too full for another helping.
I love your website and recipes; everything has always turned out pretty and scrumptious.
To the people that say this was too salty, try using no- or no-sodium beef broth.
Thanks for dinner inspiration.
