Ingredients
  

  • Regarding the Beef
  • 1½ pounds of thinly cut sirloin or flank steak against the grain; 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • Half a teaspoon of salt
  • One-half teaspoon of black pepper
  • One tablespoon of olive oil
  • Regarding the Vegetables and Noodles
  • 12 ounces of noodles such ramen, spaghetti, or lo mein
  • Three cups of broccoli florets
  • Four minced garlic cloves
  • One tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger and three sliced green onions
  • One spoonful of sesame seeds
  • One-half teaspoon of optional red pepper flakes
  • Half a cup of low-sodium soy sauce is needed for the Mongolian sauce.
  • Half a cup of brown sugar
  • One tablespoon of sesame oil
  • ¼ cup of water
  • One teaspoon of cornflour

Method
 

  1. Slice the steak thinly against the grain to prepare it. Put it in a basin and lightly coat it with cornflour, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Preparing the sauce Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, water, and cornflour in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Prepare the noodles: Follow the directions on the package to prepare the noodles. After draining, set away.
  4. Sear the beef. In a big skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over high heat. Work in batches if needed, adding the beef in a single layer. Cook until browned and well cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Take it out and put it away.
  5. Add the broccoli to the same wok and stir-fry it for two to three minutes. Cook the ginger and garlic for a further 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  6. Put the noodles in: Add the noodles to the wok along with the cooked beef.
  7. Pour in the sauce: Cover everything with the Mongolian sauce. For two to three minutes, toss constantly until the sauce thickens, bubbles, and covers the beef, noodles, and broccoli in a glossy layer.
  8. Add red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and green onions to finish. Toss again.
  9. Serve: While hot, shiny, and steaming, serve right away.
