Beef and broccoli stir-fryis typically made with flank or sirloin steak and served over rice.

This recipe uses ground beef to provide meaty flavor while costing less and cooking up faster.

Instead of the standard rice, noodles cook right in the pot with the other ingredients.

Grate the garlic and ginger directly into the sauce mixture and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the broccoli followed by the sauce mixture.

Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

Cover again and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.

The dish is done when the sauce has thickened and the noodles are tender.

Serve with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Plus, it’s the kind of one-pot recipe that serves up a complete meal.
