Skillet Beef Broccoli Ramen

What you need:

For the marinade:

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, divided
• 1 Tbsp. Italian flat leaf parsley
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3/4 lb. flank steak, sliced into thin strips

For the ramen:

• 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
• 1 cup beef broth
• A scant 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp. sesame (or vegetable) oil
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce (I used soy sauce)
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp. grated ginger
• 4 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 2 pkg. ramen noodles
• Salt and pepper
• Green onions, chopped
• Red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions:

1. For the marinade: in a bowl, combine all ingredients except steak. Whisk until combined and then pour into a gallon-size zipper bag.
2. Add steak and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 12 hours). Flip halfway through marinating time.
3. For the ramen: cook ramen noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes. Then drain and rinse with cold water to halt cooking.
4. Meanwhile, drain off excess marinade from steak and toss in cornstarch.
5. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat.
6. Add half the beef into the skillet in an even, single layer. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes without moving. Then stir for another 30 seconds to finish cooking. Remove to a plate.
7. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil to skillet and repeat cooking instructions with remaining beef.
8. In the same skillet you cooked the beef in, add beef broth, brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, remaining garlic, and ginger.
9. Stir and cook over medium heat until it thickens and reduces by a third, about 5 minutes.
10. Bring to a boil, then top with broccoli, but don't stir. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
11. Steam broccoli for about 3 minutes.
12. Uncover lid and stir in cooked pasta and meat.
13. Top with green onions and red pepper flakes and serve.
