Ingredients
Scale
Meat Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Stir Fry
- 1 1/4 lb strip steak (or flank steak or top sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil (can substitute olive or vegetable oil)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 8 oz mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 oz Ramen noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Seasoning: Combine garlic salt, celery salt, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and chili powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture evenly over the strip steak (or your choice of flank or top sirloin) to season the meat well.
- Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, stir together cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add beef broth, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, hot sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a flavorful sauce base.
- Cook the Beef: Heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef strips and quickly sear them until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets, julienned carrots, sliced yellow onion, snap peas, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the vegetables over medium-high heat until they are just tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine Beef with Vegetables and Sauce: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything, stirring constantly. Allow the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce is glossy.
- Prepare Noodles: While the beef and vegetables are cooking, prepare the Ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually boiling for 2-3 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
- Serve: Plate the cooked Ramen noodles and top them generously with the beef and vegetable stir fry mixture. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can use flank steak or top sirloin as alternatives to strip steak depending on preference or availability.
- If you prefer to omit wine, substitute it with additional beef broth or a splash of water for deglazing the pan.
- For a gluten-free version, make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and check the noodle package for gluten content.
- Adjust the hot sauce amount to manage the heat level according to your taste.
