A Classic Reborn

Imagine combining two beloved Chinese-restaurant staples – broccoli beef and stir-fried noodles – into one mouthwatering dish. Sounds too good to be true? Think again! This easy weeknight supper is a game-changer, requiring minimal organization and effort for a flavorful payoff.

The Perfect Blend

Our recipe brings together the savory goodness of skirt steak, broccoli, and Chinese noodles, all tied together with a rich soy and toasted sesame sauce. To add a satisfying crunch, we top it off with chopped toasted cashews. This dish serves 2-4 people and takes approximately 40 minutes to prepare.

Sauce it Up!

To create the sauce, whisk together:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Divide the sauce into two bowls. Add sliced skirt steak to one bowl and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Cooking the Noodles and Veggies

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the broccoli until crisp-tender, then remove and drain. Add the Chinese noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Stir-Frying the Steak and Veggies

In a wok or large frying pan, warm canola oil until it shimmers. Remove the steak from the marinade and add it to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add sliced carrots and bell pepper and sauté until just tender.

The Final Touches

Add the cooked noodles, reserved broccoli, and remaining sauce to the pan. Stir-fry until warmed through and well combined. Season with Sriracha to taste. Divide the dish between bowls, sprinkle with toasted cashews, and serve immediately.

Get Ready to Wow!

This savory fusion dish is sure to become a weeknight staple in your household. With its bold flavors and satisfying textures, it’s a meal that will leave everyone wanting more. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the culinary applause!
