Ingredients

• 12 oz ramen noodles
• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp flaky sea salt
• 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
• 2 cups beef broth

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add ramen noodles, and cook 3‑4 minutes until just tender; drain and set aside.
2. 2. In a large skillet over medium‑high heat, melt butter, then add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. 3. Add sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear 2‑3 minutes until browned but still pink inside.
4. 4. Pour in beef broth and soy sauce, bring to a simmer, then stir in heavy cream; let the sauce reduce for 4 minutes, thickening slightly.
5. 5. Toss broccoli florets into the simmering sauce, cover, and steam 3‑4 minutes until bright green and crisp‑tender.
6. 6. Stir in cooked ramen and grated Parmesan; cook 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt and coat the noodles.
7. 7. Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped herbs, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• Pat beef dry before searing to achieve a better crust.
• Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Do not overcook broccoli; it should stay vibrant and slightly crunchy.
• Use low‑sodium broth to control salt levels.
• If the broth becomes too thick, thin with a splash of water.
• Serve the ramen hot; reheating can make noodles mushy.

Storage

Cool any leftovers to room temperature within two hours, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth to loosen the sauce; the dish does not freeze well because noodles become soggy.

Notes

Sear beef quickly for flavor without overcooking. Finish with fresh herbs for brightness.
