Beef and broccoli is a takeout classic and it almost always lands on a bed of white rice. Not here. Here it goes straight onto ramen noodles and the whole thing becomes one bowl instead of two dishes. The sauce coats the noodles, the broccoli stays green and loud, and nobody at the table asks where the rice went.<\/p>\n
People look down on the cheapest instant ramen packs. I don’t. Those noodles are good, and if you dress them up they make a real meal instead of a last-resort dinner. The seasoning packet stays out of it: the sauce gets built separately from four things, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and toasted sesame oil.<\/p>\n
There’s a whole technique floating around for tenderizing beef with baking soda before it hits the pan. I skip it. You don’t need it if you buy a decent cut. Strip loin sliced thin is the sweet spot between marbling and meat, and the cornstarch coating handles the rest: it browns, it grabs the sauce, it thickens everything at the end. Rib eye works too, just fattier. Flank steak does the job for less money.<\/p>\n
I saw this dish go by on social media a very long time ago. Made it my way, and it stuck around. My kids love it, I love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
