Instructions
Prepare the Beef: Rib eye, sirloin and strip steak all work well. Sometimes you can buy it already thinly sliced. To slice it thinly yourself, it helps to freeze the beef for 20 minutes. Slice it across the grain as thinly as you can, then toss the beef with the ginger, garlic and 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
Heat Water for Ramen Noodles: In large saucepan or pot, heat water to boiling for cooking the ramen noodles.
Heat large 12-inch (2-inches deep) skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and sesame oil, if using. Brown the beef in batches. Remove beef to plate.
Cook the Vegetables: To same skillet over medium heat, add additional 1 tablespoon oil, if needed, and stir fry the vegetables. Start with the firmer vegetables first. (I cook the peppers, onion and broccoli together, then add the snow peas or sugar snap peas closer to the end.)
Stir fry the vegetables until they are brightly colored and a little browned on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. They will not be tender at this point.
Cook the Ramen Noodles: Follow the package directions to cook ramen noodles. When drained, toss with a teaspoon or two of oil and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Cover to keep warm.
Add the beef back to the pan with the vegetables. Add beef broth and soy sauce, stir to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cover and cook until vegetables are as tender as desired. I cook mine for just a few more minutes. I like the vegetables to be tender, but not soft.
If desired, sprinkle stir fry mixture with sesame seeds. For serving: place some ramen noodles in the bottom of each bowl and top with the stir fry mixture and some broth. Provide topping for everyone to customize their bowl.
