Thinly slice the steak into very thin slices for a fast fry.

Heat a Teflon pan over medium heat and add a touch of oil.

Add the thinly sliced steak to the pan and cook until browned, breaking apart any pieces that stick together.

Pre-blanch the broccoli before adding it to the pan with the steak.

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add 2 packets of instant ramen noodles, cooking them for a minute.

Once the steak is about 90% done, add the pre-blanched broccoli to the pan.

Prepare the sauce by combining rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, water, and cornstarch in a small jar and shaking it well.

Pour the sauce into the pan with the steak and broccoli, bringing it to a simmer to activate the cornstarch and thicken the sauce.

Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pan and mix everything together until well combined.

Garnish with slivered green onion and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
