Cooking Steps
  1. Marinate the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips. Combine with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring water to a boil, add egg noodles, and cook until al dente (3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Broccoli: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Remove and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same skillet, add marinated beef. Cook for 1-2 minutes until crust forms, then stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Combine the Ingredients: Add broccoli back to the skillet, include drained noodles and beef broth or water. Mix gently and drizzle sesame oil.
  7. Cook Through: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to heat everything.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
