How to Make Savory Broccoli Beef Udon Stir-Fry:

Slice flank steak thin and whisk up the marinade: ¼ cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, a dash of mushroom powder, a drop of cooking oil and a spoonful of cornstarch. Toss in the steak strips and let them soak up the flavors for 20 minutes while you prep the sauce; 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 cup beef broth, thickened later with 1½ tablespoons cornstarch mixed into 3 tablespoons cold water.

Heat oil in a wok or pan over medium-high until shimmering, then sear the marinated beef until browned and fragrant. Meanwhile, boil udon noodles in a separate pot until tender, strain, rinse under cool water to stop cooking and set aside.

Remove the beef, add fresh broccoli florets to the pan and sauté 2 minutes until vibrant. Toss in minced garlic with a swirl of oil, frying until golden and aromatic. Return the beef and noodles to the pan, pour in the sauce and stir vigorously as it bubbles and thickens. Sprinkle sesame seeds for crunch.

This flavorful udon stir-fry balances tender beef, crisp broccoli and slurpy noodles in a savory-sweet sauce, delivering takeout vibes with homemade ease.
