Make your own take out at home with this easy veggie beef ramen recipe! This dish is filled with tender steak, crisp vegetables and the perfect sauce.

This homemade beef ramen is one of our favorite weeknight dinners. It comes together in less than 30 minutes and is so flavorful. Some of our other top weeknight meals are goulash, one pot burrito bowls, one pot caprese pasta and slow cooker honey chicken.

One of my favorite things to get when we order Chinese food is the beef ramen with broccoli. It is so good, but so not healthy. We love making our favorite take out dishes at home because it’s a lot healthier and we usually eat less, too.

I wouldn’t necessarily call this recipe a healthy dish since it does use brown sugar, but with all the vegetables in there – it’s definitely “healthyish.” If you want to make it a little healthier, you can cut the brown sugar in half and serve over brown rice. So easy and yummy!

What you’ll need:

Check out the simple ingredients below. Feel free to customize the veggies, noodles or toppings based on preference!

• Beef: I use flank steak to keep the beef ramen on the healthier side. Feel free to use other cuts of beef too, such as top sirloin. You’ll just need about 10 ounces, cut into pieces.
• Veggies: I love to pack mine with all types of veggies. Bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas and carrots are my favorites.
• Sauce: The sauce has such amazing flavor! It’s simple to make – just whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and ground ginger.
• Noodles: Ramen, lo mein or spaghetti noodles are our favorites for this recipe. You can also serve the beef and veggies over rice instead if preferred.
• Toppings: Feel free to top yours with sliced green onions, sesame seeds or red peppers flakes for extra spice.

1. Sauté vegetables. Place oil in a large skillet and warm over medium-heat. Add the vegetables and cook until fork tender, stirring occasionally.
2. Cook noodles & make sauce. While the veggies cook, make the noodles according to directions on package. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and ground ginger. Set aside.
3. Cook the beef. Push veggies to one side of the pan (or remove to a plate). Add the steak and season with S&P. Cook for a few minutes, then flip meat and cook until tender and no longer pink.
4. Add in sauce and noodles and serve! Add in minced garlic. Then push steak to one side of pan and add in sauce. Let simmer for one minute. Add the noodles and cook for 1 more minute. Serve while hot with desired toppings. Enjoy!
