This savory Beef and Broccoli Noodles recipe uses ground beef for a quick, one-pan dinner. A honey-soy glaze and fresh broccoli make it better than takeout.

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces dried udon, ramen, soba, lo mein noodles, or spaghetti

1 large crown broccoli (10 to 12 ounces)

2 cloves garlic

1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger

1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the noodle water

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish (optional)

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and rinse well under cool water.

2. Cut broccoli into 1-inch florets. Mince garlic and peel/mince ginger.

3. Whisk together garlic, ginger, 3/4 cup chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a medium bowl.

4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Brown and break into pieces for 5 to 7 minutes.

5. Add broccoli and remaining 1/2 cup broth to the skillet. Cover and steam until vibrant and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

6. Whisk the sauce once more. Add the sauce and the noodles to the skillet.

7. Cook and toss regularly until the sauce is thickened and coats the noodles well, about 2 to 3 minutes.

8. Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Make ahead: The sauce can be mixed together up to 1 day ahead.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Noodle tip: Rinse under cold water to prevent clumping before adding to the skillet.
