The Strategy:

Slicing the steak paper-thin and marinating it with ginger and garlic ensures a tender, flavor-packed bite that cooks in just minutes. Tossing the savory beef with crisp, bright green broccoli and tender noodles in a glossy hoisin glaze creates a quick yet luxurious meal. This dish is perfect for bringing a fun, interactive, and comforting noodle bowl experience to your dining room.

Raw cooking ingredients for Beef and Broccoli Noodle Bowl arranged beautifully on a clean kitchen counter.

Instructions

Marinate the steak

Place the skirt steak into the freezer for 30 minutes to make it easier to carve.
Slice the steak into very thin strips and place into a bowl.
Whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, garlic and ginger.
Spoon the sauce over the steak and marinate for 20 minutes.

Make broccoli and cook beef

Blanch (or steam) the broccoli and stem slices until crisp-tender. I use my microwave oven on the veggie setting to do this. Alternatively, you can blanch the broccoli in boiling water, or in a steamer basket. You want crispy, bright green florets.
Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet (or wok) over medium-high heat.
Add the beef and marinade and cook until the beef is browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. You can do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Add the broccoli and cook for 2 minutes more.

Make the sauce

Pour in the beef stock.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes more.

Cook noodles and toss

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water according to the package directions, about 4 minutes.
Drain the noodles and add to the skillet.
Pour in the hoisin sauce and toss everything together.

Serve

Top with sesame seeds.
Serve the beef and broccoli with the noodles in shallow bowls.
