Tasty Broccoli Beef Noodles in less than 30 minutes using dried noodles, sirloin beef, and broccoli florets. Great for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
Yesterday was “one of those days”. I had only planned on being outside in the yard for an hour or so bagging leaves. This is no small task as we do have several mature trees on the property. Those trees have tons of leaves and when they come down, I shudder thinking of the work that lies ahead. Fall is beautiful but fleeting and after the great splendid show of color, it is time to clean up. So far, we have filled more than thirty 30-gallon yard waste bags and there are at least thirty more to go. It is a major chore and my one hour turned into three hours. Talk about project creep! By the time I got in, I was tired but dinner still had to be put on the table.
A One Pan Dinner
Broccoli Beef Stir-fry and another vegetable dish to go with our rice. I really was not in the mood for that after working outside. Instead of cooking three separate dishes, I decided on a quick one-dish Broccoli Beef Noodles instead. Thank God for dried noodles!
Since I had used the flat cut noodles for the Stir-Fried Noodles with Chicken and Crabsticks dish the last time, I opted for the thin noodles this time and I am glad I did. It combined really well with the broccoli and beef.
Quick and Easy
Broccoli Beef Noodles took less than 30 minutes to prepare.

I love broccoli beef and your recipe sis so easy, even for me LOL~~ a perfect mid week meal. thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Vianney!
Mmmm… now if I could just get the kids to eat broccoli! Maybe with some sweet chili sauce (which we tend to use like ketchup – on everything)? 😉
I like sweet chili sauce. Grew up with it. When I moved here, I had a kind of withdrawal but now I am used to ketchup. 🙂
I love noodles and you’ve added the generous topping of broccoli and beef. Making me hungry now and perfect time for dinner now 😀
My family likes it with a lot of topping. I guess it is more tasty that way. This one was really easy to prepare. Will definitely make it again.
What a lovely dinner to sit down to after a hard day doing yard work! Beef is wonderful with brocolli, garlic and sesame oil. Funny thing is we had noodles for dinner too last night – paad thai, because I couldn’t be bothered to cook rice, a meat and a veg dish. Noodles are real lifesavers for harried cooks and mums. Thank goodness my band of boys always welcomes noodles with broad smiles!
I love paad thai and have not cooked it for a while. Need to make some soon.
My pantry is well stocked with noodles. We love them! 🙂
I love quick, easy meals too. This looks delicious!
Me too! 🙂
I would love a hearty dish like this after all that hard work. I love fall and the leaves…. but raking leaves not so much!
The raking and bagging of the leaves is hard work. We are still not quite done yet. More to rake and bag. 🙁
delicious my kind of meal
Thanks Rebecca!
My kind of lunch…yummy!
Thanks Angie!
I REALLY love your noodles dishes and this one is no exception! What an easy and delicious dish!!!
Thanks MJ! I am glad you like them. 🙂
I love everything on this plate! Simply delicious!
Thanks Jeannie!
Biren, my kind of meal for the family when I do not have time or inspiration! Thankfully, my kids love noodles with just about anything but beef and broccoli is the classic favourite. I know exactly how you feel about those leaves, I have the same problem with just two oak trees – leaves, leaves and MORE leaves…Somehow the task of raking and bagging always fall on me!
Noodles are a God sent. My boys love it too. Can’t go wrong with something as familiar as broccoli and beef here in the West.
Those leaves can be a pain when they come down. Autumn is pretty but unfortunately the autumn colors are so fleeting.
Very nice recipe! I always make beef and broccoli but never had used in noodles. Love the idea
This is something I concocted to save time. Love the way it turned out. Do give it a try.
I love noodle dishes, and this one looks terrific. The combo of broccoli and beef is so nice, isn’t it? This looks wonderful. We’re lucky in the leaf department – not that many big trees on our property, and at this time of the year we can rake leaves into a big pile by the curb, and 2 or 3 times this fall a truck will come around and vacuum them all up! Makes leaf disposal so much easier. Anyway, good recipe – thanks.
I need to suggest that to our city council. That is definitely much easier and more environmentally friendly. No need for even those paper bags that we pay so much for.
Thanks for all your amazing recipes! Like the way you present them.
You are most welcomed, Mariana! Please continue to enjoy the recipes. 🙂
