The easy steps in making this yummy Beef and Broccoli Ramen:
You’ll want to start out with slicing up your beef. Don’t make spend your time making this perfect guys!!!.. Honestly,.. it’s all going to the same place. Take your steak and slice it as thin as you can. If the pieces of meat are too long, simply cut them in half.
You can season them at this point with some pepper and garlic powder if you like. It’s not a prerequisite, but it will definitely add more flavor in the final dish.
Cut up the broccoli into bite size pieces that you like. If you have the stems of the broccoli, DON’T WASTE THEM! Once you peel the tough outer layer, then inner is nice and tender. Slice them into medallions and add them with the florets.
They stretch the grocery dollar!
Skillet Beef and Broccoli Ramen is called what it is, obviously, because it’s all done in one dish. With the exception of soaking the noodles, which just take a bowl and some hot water. So that’s next on the list, – just heat up some hot water in a kettle! As soon as it’s boiling hot, add the noodles to the water, cover and let sit until you need them.
Slice up your onion and put it beside the broccoli, hand and ready to go.
In a bowl, put together all the ingredients for the sauce.
Set it aside…….. but keep it handy, you’ll need to use it soon!
Throw your beef in the pan with a bit of oil to begin the frying process.
Add the onion so it begins to soften.
What about my alternatives to this Beef an Broccoli Ramen Recipe?
Yes.. this is where your switchups happen! Want to add other veggies? Let’s say carrots or snap peas?
Now would be the time to do it, because now is the time to add the broccoli!!
You want to cook this over a fairly high heat as to evaporate any of the excess water that may come from the broccoli and onions.
But what about those ramen noodles????
Ok, so drain those yummies and dump them in the skillet as well.
Give everything a good stir!
**Pro tip: The ramen noodles are kind of long and if you’re ok with that, by all means, leave them.
However, if you think cutting them shorter would make it easier to eat them,
take some clean kitchen shears or a sharp knife and carefully cut them in sections before you put them in the pan.
Remember the sauce from earlier? Grab it and pour it in!
Again.. give it a good stir!!
The noodles will soften up a bit more in the cooking process, so be sure to leave those till last because the beef and broccoli part will be perfect, but the ramen noodles may get too mushy.
