Directions

1. Sauce: Whisk together ⅔ cup (150 mL) water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, sesame oil and pepper; set aside.

2. Stir-fry: Slice steaks across the grain into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide stir-fry strips. Place in a bowl with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the Sauce; toss to coat and set aside.

3. Bring a large pot of water to a bowl. Add broccoli, return to boil and cook for 1 minute. Add ramen noodles and cook for 20 seconds. Remove from heat and separate the noodles with a chopstick or spoon. Drain and set aside.

4. Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet; add half of the beef and cook for about 1 minute per side, until browned. Transfer to plate. Repeat with 1 tsp (5 mL) oil and remaining beef.

5. Set aside ¼ cup (60 mL) of green portion of green onions for garnish. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) oil; add remaining green onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, broccoli, noodles and half of the remaining Sauce; stir-fry for 1 minute.

6. Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan along with remaining Sauce; stir-fry for about 1 minute or until heated through and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve garnished with reserved green onions.
