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*

For the sauce
- ¾ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

Hi! Would you guess 1 serving is approximately 1 cup? Or is 1 serving slightly larger?
Thanks! I love your blog!
About 1-2 cups.
This recipe is like health and taste all together and as beef is a good source of protein, energy and full of carbs so this nutritious recipe is definitely the one to try. Thanks for this post.
This recipe is freaking DELICIOUS. The flavor is out of this world. It’s SO easy to make! The only adjustment I made was add more noodles. But that’s also because I love noodles haha. But this is definitely part of my regular rotation of recipes now!! Thank you so much!
Would pre-marinating the steak to tenderize be worthwhile?

Grabbed red wine vinegar rather than rice wine, what can I use to substitute?

I just made this dish and it was really good. Love the
new take on broccoli beef. My only concern is that
it was very salty. I used low sodium soy sauce.
Is there any adjustment I can make?
Love Butters and all your recipes!
You can try to add less soy sauce, to taste. Hope that helps!
I discovered the source of the saltiness. It was the beef broth. I used a different brand that I usually use and it had more salt.
How much soy sauce should I use if it’s regular soy sauce and not reduced sodium?
About 1/3 – 1/2 cup.
Cast iron skillet or a nonstick skillet? Thanks!
Either/or should work!
I love your recipes and they always sound great but I have to admit I’ve been completely disappointed when they never come out looking a THING like yours. The picture is what makes me want to try the recipe in the first place! I follow them exactly and not one looks the way you show it. Any ideas?
I’m not too sure. How did yours turn out?
It was okay, but not very saucy at all. That was the lure of your photo, looked so delicious with the sauce coating it. I had hoped to get the sauce yield it looks like yours has.
I made this and it was sooooo salty, I threw out the leftovers. Are you sure 1 cup of lite soy s not a typo? I tried the packet that came with noodles and it was quite tasty, think I will try again and sustitute this for the soy.
Oh no! But it’s not light soy sauce – it’s reduced sodium. There’s a huge difference in taste. Is that what you used?
Yes it was reduced sodium, my taste buds are salt & sweet sensitive I guess.
I just made it and even though I already reduce the less sodium soy sauce into 1/2 cup only, it’s still too salty for my husband (slightly for me). Maybe next time I’ll try with 1/4 cup first. Or another idea, add more noodle…
Do you thing I can replace the beef with chicken meat? Btw, the dog is very cute!
Yes, absolutely!
If using chicken instead of beef, should I substitute chicken stalk for the beef stalk too?
Yes.
Could you please tell me how I can get nutritional info on this delicious dish? Made it tonight and loved it but need to know how to count it. Thanks for your time.
Nutritional information is provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
I don’t know if I’m just hungry, but every single one of your recipes is looking so incredible and so fresh right now! Your website is beautiful and I am looking forward to following along now that I have discovered it! 🙂
I made this for dinner THS evening, and wow did t taste good!!! However, I did not use the sesame seeds, because my son do not like them getting stuck in his teeth. Yet, it still was yummy. Thank you so much for all of your amazing rescipes.
You alway create great rescipes. This one is nothing short of fabulously. Cannot wait to try it. I think this will be dinner this evening. As always, thank you for all your yummy dishes. Yum!
Will the flank steak be tender?
Yes.
Flank steak usually isn’t a tender steak without marinating. How can it be tender in this recipe? Can another steak like a sirloin be substituted?
Hi Gail! You can use any cut of meat that you are comfortable with.
what can I substitute for the soy. My thyroid medication says to not consume soy products

Sheri, I googled “soy free soy sauce” and found several options, many available at Wal-Mart or online. Try it !
You can use something called Coconut aminos – it is a soy substitute. Just saw it in Wal-Mart of all places.
Agree with Linda ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
I made it tonight with coconut aminos and it was delicious!!
Love, love, love your recipes. I noticed the recipe said to add 1/2 cup of water to the sauce but I didn’t are it in the video…. I did and my sauce seems pretty thin. Was it supposed to be there? Thanks!
The winds got crazy friday! I hope there wasn’t too much flooding where you are. I am going to try this for sure.
Love a good ramen noodle dish! Nice work (:
Wonderful recipe!! If using raman noodles, 1 package or 2 , please?
Two.
