  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless beef top round or top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound broccoli florets
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange rind (optional)
  1. Cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8-inch thick strips. Combine seasoning from ramen noodles with cornstarch mixture in large bowl. Add beef; toss.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots 1 minute. Add noodles and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove; keep warm.
  3. Heat remaining oil in same skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Drain beef, discarding marinade. Stir-fry 1/2 of beef 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Remove. Repeat with remaining beef. Serve over noodles. Sprinkle with orange rind.
