Instructions
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and place it in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and crumble until browned and cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Drain grease and set aside.
- Begin boiling water for the noodles as you proceed with the steps below.
- Turn the heat off and add the wine to the same skillet used to cook the beef. Set the heat to medium and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom and sides of the skillet. This will add more flavor to the sauce. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the oil and the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cabbage (if using), cook for 3 minutes.
- Stir the cornstarch into the sauce mixture until well combined. Add the sauce to the skillet and bring it to a boil until thickened, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cover partially and add the ramen noodles to the boiling water. Set a timer and cook for 1 minute, just long enough to where the noodles loosen up a little. Drain and transfer them to the skillet to finish cooking.
- Add the ground beef back and let it heat through. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and/or roughly chopped peanuts and serve!
Notes
- Pro Tips:
- Storage:
- Nutritional information is an estimate and is per serving. There are 4 servings in this recipe.
- Wine: Pinot Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc are great wine options to deglaze the pan with. Chicken broth may be used if you don’t cook with wine.
- Ramen: I use Maruchan or Top Ramen in this recipe but any variety of Ramen can be used. Save the seasoning packets to make my Ramen Noodle Salad!
- While it may seem counterintuitive to use both chicken and beef broth in this recipe, it actually adds a really nice depth of flavor. If preferred, all chicken broth can be used.
- Optional additions: Broccoli, celery, green beans, baby corn snow peas, and edamame.
- Topping Options: Green onions, peanuts, cashews, and crunchy chow mein noodles!
- 1-2 scrambled eggs make a great addition to this as well! I scramble them up and mix them in at the end.
- Recipe Variations: My ramen noodle stir fry is made with chicken, and I have a beef and broccoli ramen recipe as well!
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Leftovers do freeze pretty well, just be sure not to overcook the noodles.
