BROCCOLI AND BEEF NOODLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Cover the noodles with hot water in a large bowl and place a small plate on top to keep them submerged; set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles well and set aside. Discard the flavor pouches or reserve for another use.
• Cut the beef crosswise into 2- to 3-inch pieces and then rotate a quarter turn and slice thinly lengthwise across the grain, about 1/4-inch thick.
• Stir together the chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, cornstarch, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl or measuring cup and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Add half of the beef and cook, stirring once, until brown on the outside and still juicy on the inside, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Repeat with an additional 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the remaining beef.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli just starts to soften, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and push the broccoli to the side. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir the chicken broth mixture briefly and add it to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the beef and stir to coat. Transfer the beef to a large serving platter, leaving room for the noodles.
• Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ramen noodles and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to the serving platter and garnish with additional scallions, if desired. Garnish the beef with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
• Cook's Note: If you have extra time and want to cut your skirt steak very thinly, cut the steak into 4 pieces and freeze for 30 minutes before slicing. Cook until just seared and still juicy inside, about 1 minute per batch.

Steps:

• 1. Place the broccoli into a heatproof bowl with a pinch of sea salt, then cover with boiling water, leave for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic, and peel and finely chop the ginger. Finely slice the chilli and cut the lime into wedges.
  3. Pound the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  4. Slice the steaks into finger-sized strips, then sprinkle over the spice mixture and toss to coat.
  5. Place a wok or large frying pan on a hight heat. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, add the onions, garlic and ginger, then fry for 2 minutes.
  6. Drop in the seasoned beef and fry for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
  7. Pour in the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, then toss to coat.
  8. Delicious served with egg noodles or steamed rice, and with some fresh chilli scattered on top and a good squeeze of lime juice.
