Beef Broccoli Ramen Pot

This is a week night winner. It is quick to prepare and makes a ton for leftovers. I found it one day because I only had a few things in my fridge at the time, broccoli and beef included. I've made it both with filet and ground beef and would suggest either! Thanks Mel's Kitchen Cafe!

1 lb raw ground beef or cooked filet

1 T olive oil 

1 T sesame oil

1 T fresh grated ginger 

2 cloves garlic, finely diced

4 C chopped broccoli

3 1/2 C low sodium chicken broth

4 packages (3 Oz each )ramen noodles, no flavoring packet

1/3 C soy sauce (a little less than here) 

1/4 C hoison or oyster sauce 

1 T brown sugar 

1 T rice vinegar 

1. Combine soy sauce, hoison or oyster, sugar and vinegar by whisking in a small bowl. Set aside. 

2. In a deep skillet, heat olive and sesame oil over medium heat and cook ground beef if using. Drain and move beef to a bowl. 

3. Add ginger and garlic to the skillet. Add more oil if needed. Mash ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds and then add the broccoli and broth. 

4. Break up the ramen noodles and add them to the skillet. Bring the ingredients to a simmer and cook until broccoli and noodles are tender, about 4 minutes. Stir while it cooks. Some liquid will remain. 

5. Add ground beef back to the pan. If using steak, wait. Whisk sauce ingredients to remix and then add to the pan as well. Stir and toss. Add steak, sliced or cubed and heat gently for about 2 minutes.
