Ramen Noodles with Marinated Steak and Broccoli
This recipe combines marinated hanger steak with sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, and ramen noodles for a hearty meal. The steak is marinated in an Asian-style sauce for flavor and grilled to medium rare. The stir-fried vegetables are coated in a savory sauce thickened slightly with cornstarch. Ramen noodles cook separately and are served alongside or tossed with the other components, creating a balanced dish of tender meat, crisp vegetables, and chewy noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds hanger steak or flap steak or flank steak
- Asian Master Sauce double recipe, to make 1 ½ cup
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 ramen noodles seasoning packets saved for another use, packages
- 4 cups broccoli , cut into florets
- 6 ounces brown mushrooms , sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- green onion or both, or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Add the steak to a zippered gallon freezer bag with ¾ cup of the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes up to overnight in the fridge. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium high heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Take the steak from the bag and pour off the marinade then add the steak to the pan and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked to medium rare, about 8-12 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest and wipe out any burned bits from the pan, then reserve.
- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles (minus the seasoning packet) according to the package directions, drain and set aside.
- In the reserved skillet (or if you used a grill pan, use a new skillet) warm the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium high heat and add the mushrooms, then stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the broccoli with ½ cup of the master sauce and cook for about more 3-4 minutes. Mix the cornstarch in the remaining master sauce and add to the broccoli and mushrooms, cooking until the sauce thickens and the broccoli turns bright green.
- Remove from the heat and add the ramen noodles, tossing to coat. Slice the hanger steak into thin slices against the grain and add to the noodles and veg. Garnish with the green onion and cilantro and serve.
