A quick and flavorful one-pan meal combining savory ground beef, crunchy ramen noodles, and a delicious soy-based sauce, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup chopped green cabbage
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour beef broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Add the ramen noodles to the skillet, breaking them up slightly with a spoon, and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add shredded carrots and chopped green cabbage to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and noodles are fully cooked.
Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving.
