Beef and Broccoli Noodles
Who doesn’t love a delicious and easy one-pot dinner?
Combing two classic recipes that everyone loves, let’s make Beef and Broccoli Noodles!
A must-try weeknight dinner idea that is healthy, delicious, and takes less than 30 minutes.
I promise you will have tender beef every single time with a few simple tips.
I am using Shanghai Noodles today to make Beef and Broccoli Noodles.
You can find Shanghai Noodles at T&T Supermarket, but you can also use other noodles you like.
Some noodles that I recommend are Yellow stir-fry noodles or udon noodles.
Cook the noodles based on instruction, rinse with cold water and set aside.
If you use frozen udon, pour hot water over it and let it side for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water before stir-fry.
You will need soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, minced garlic, black pepper, and sugar for the delicious restaurant-quality Beef and Broccoli Noodles Glaze.
The secret is ketchup, as it provides the perfect acidity and sweetness for the sauce.
I am doing the classic stir-fry with broccoli, but you can also add in other vegetables of your choice. I’ve made Beef and Broccoli Noodles stir-fry with baby corn, red pepper, carrots, cabbage, and green pepper before, and it tasted amazing!
Here are a few secrets to SUPER TENDER Beef and Broccoli Noodles every single time!
- The first one is baking soda.
I got this secret from a good friend who works at a Chinese restaurant; it is honestly a game-changer. No more eating tough beef at home, and hello to juicy, tender, silky beef!
- The second tip is cutting against the grain and diagonally.
Always cut against the grain and sideways to get thin slices. With this tip, it doesn’t matter what type of steak you get; it will turn out perfect every time!
- The final tip is to freeze the beef for 10 minutes before slicing it. This step will make it 100x easier to cut the meat.

What cut of beef do you use?
any cut of beef will work 🙂 i am using new york here
All your recipes are amazing….Thank you so much for sharing
thank you for the support!!
What cut of beef is best?
hi 🙂
any cut will work, i am using new york here, but any cut with a bit of fat works well
Hi, wondering what kind of noodles I need to purchase for this?
Hi! I am using fresh shanghai noodles in the recipe, you can use any noodle of your choice, frozen udon works great too!
Do you think you could sub chicken?
Thx!
First, the recipe is awesome. I followed it pretty close but increased the sauce a bit because I wanted to use more broccoli and add onion. I didn’t use quite as much black pepper bc mine is fresh ground and kind of potent. I did sub chicken, and I decreased the corn starch and baking soda a bit accordingly. Likely about a half tsp of baking soda and one Tbsp of cornstarch. It turned out fabulous, 10/10 will scarf again. I think beef will be good too, I’ll try it next time. Keep it up Tiffy!!
Hey thank you for the recipe !
Looks better than any beef noodles I had in my entire life 🤩 I have a question what kind of beef cut have you used in this recipe ? And are these egg noodles ?
Hi 🙂
Thanks so much, I am using new york here, but any cut of beef will work, i personally like cuts that have some fat on it. I am using Shanghai noodles here 🙂

Just made this tonight and it was easy and super delicious! Even my picky child liked eating it! This dinner will definitely be added to our monthly rotation. Thank you!
This is my first time making them and im just in such shock because it taste JUST like the B&B from any restaurant!! I double up on the sauce and honestly, it was (chefs kiss) amazing!
I made the beef and broccoli as directed and then served over rice. Soooo yummy!
I’ve never had beef and broccoli noodles in the restaurant, just beef and broccoli. I thought it’d be a nice change to eat it with noodles rather than rice. Anyhow, OMG, it was AMAZING. I thought i was adding too much black pepper, but that amount made it similar to the black pepper beef stir fry but just with broccoli and noodles. Ahh so delicious! I actually only used 1lb of beef sirloin instead of 1.5lb since it was on sale and I still thought it was too much beef. Maybe for some who loves meat and protein, it’s a good amount for them, but for me I’ll use a bit less next time. Other than that absolutely the best dish! A bit spicy and sweet at the same time.
Your article was a fantastic read. I’m really impressed with your ability to explain things clearly and engagingly.
I’ve made this twice and both times it was delicious! The only thing that I changed was the noodles, I just went with what I could find at my grocery store. The first time I made it with beef the second time I made it with chicken. Both times it was absolutely delicious. 😊
The flavors were good but it was too much pepper for my family and I it became spicy. I would say use pepper to your liking.
I used the sauce recipe and the cooking techniques as a bit of a base because I didn’t have everything in e.g. swapped noodles for spaghetti and broccoli for green beans😅🤣 but it was still absolutely LOVELY! Even the 3 year old ate a huge portion. Thank you so much – definitely in the rotation for when we fancy takeout at home🫶
