Step 1

Very thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4th inch thick strips and then into 2 inch pieces. Put the steak pieces in a large ziploc bag.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped Italian parsley.

Step 3

Whisk together and pour over the flank steak in the bag.

Step 4

Seal and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour and preferably 6-8+ hours (no more than 12 hours). Flip the steak in the bag halfway through the marinating time.

Step 5

Boil a small pot of water and cook the ramen noodles for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

Step 6

Chop the broccoli into bite-sized even pieces.

Step 7

Remove the flank steak and drain off any remaining marinade. Toss the steak to coat with the cornstarch.

Step 8

In a large skillet over high heat, add in 1 tablespoon of the remaining vegetable oil. Heat until the oil is shimmering and then add in 1/2 the beef so it can be in a single layer.

Step 9

Cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Continue cooking while stirring until the beef is lightly cooked but still pink in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.

Step 10

Add in the last remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Add the remaining beef and cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 11

Transfer the rest of the beef to the plate.

Step 12

In the same skillet, add the beef broth, brown sugar, remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, remaining garlic, and ginger.

Step 13

Stir and cook (uncovered) over medium heat until sauce thickens a bit and reduces by about a third (about 5-8 minutes). You don't want to reduce it too much so it can still generously coat all the noodles & veggies.

Step 14

Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, top the mixture evenly with the broccoli (don't stir in). Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 15

Allow the broccoli to steam until crisp tender about 3 minutes or to desired tender-ness.

Step 16

Remove the lid, add in the cooked pasta and cooked meat.

Step 17

Stir and top with desired toppings: green onions, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds.

Step 18

Enjoy immediately.
