Beef & Broccoli Ramen

1 to 1.5 lbs flank or sirloin steak, sliced thin (*can use hamburger!)
1 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs sesame oil

1 Tbs grated ginger

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

4-6 c chopped broccoli florets

3 1/2 c chicken broth

4 (3 oz. each) packages of ramen noodles, discard flavor packets

Sauce:

1/3 c soy sauce

1/4 hoisin or oyster sauce

1 Tbs brown sugar

1 Tbs rice vinegar

Pat the beef dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.  In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients, set aside.

In a 12-inch deep skillet, heat the olive oil and sesame oil together over medium/med high heat until hot and rippling.  Cook the beef in a single layer until browned and mostly cooked through, 3-4 minutes.  Repeat if all the beef didn't fit int he first batch.  Remove the beef to a plate.

Add the ginger and garlic (may add a drizzle of oil if pan is dry).  Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.  Add broccoli and broth.

Break the ramen bricks into chunks and add them to the skillet.  Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the ramen and broccoli are tender, 3-4 minutes, tossing and stirring the ramen to help it separate.

Add the beef back to the pot.  Whisk the sauce to recombine and add it to the pot.  Stir and toss to combine.  Cook at a gentle simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.  Serve immediately.
