Print Recipe

A quick and comforting one-pot meal combining garlic-infused beef, tender-crisp broccoli, and noodles soaked in a savory sauce, ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) ground beef or thinly sliced flank steak
  • 2 cups (about 150 g) fresh broccoli florets, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or wide rice noodles
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups (475 ml) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and finely chop the onion. Measure out soy sauce, broth, and brown sugar. (5 minutes)
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or sliced steak, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. (5 minutes)
  3. Push the beef to one side of the pan and add chopped onion and garlic to the empty side. Stir often until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Mix everything together. (2 minutes)
  4. Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Add noodles in an even layer, pressing them down gently so they’re mostly submerged. (2 minutes)
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with the lid and cook for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking. (8 minutes)
  6. Uncover and toss in the broccoli florets. Stir well, cover again, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp and noodles are fully cooked. (4 minutes)
  7. Remove lid, drizzle sesame oil if using, and sprinkle red pepper flakes or sriracha for a kick. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or more soy sauce if needed. (1 minute)
  8. Spoon the beef and broccoli noodles into bowls and enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

If noodles stick before cooking through, add a splash of extra broth or water and stir gently. Use egg noodles or wide rice noodles for best results. Add frozen broccoli a few minutes earlier if using. Adjust seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting. For vegetarian option, substitute beef with firm tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth.
