Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli with Udon Noodles Recipe

I was flipping through the TV channels recently and stumbled across a children’s cooking competition show.  I paused my channel surfing a moment to watch the kids in action.  The children featured on the show were between the ages of 9-12 and cooking all sorts of recipes from scratch.  I was floored at the skill level of these little kids.

Both my children regularly ask to help me in the kitchen, I usually just give them the simplest tasks such as washing vegetables or grabbing items from the fridge instead of having them do anything substantial like dicing food or handling raw meat.  

After watching more of that show and seeing the skills and confidence the kids had in the kitchen, I decided that I might need to step back a bit and allow my kids (with my assistance, of course, can’t loosen up that much yet, lol) more responsibility in the kitchen.

Our family absolutely adores Asian-inspired dishes, especially anything with teriyaki, and these types of meals make a frequent appearance on the menu plan.  Since this simple Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli with Udon Noodles was on the menu next, I thought it was the perfect dish for my little missy to be in charge of.

I put my missy to work with the smallest paring knife I could find; she chopped all the veggies and did the stir-frying with minimal interference from me.  (I did end up slicing the flank steak myself only because it was kind of tough to cut through and I wanted to make sure the slices were uniform in size.)

This Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli recipe turned out soo good!  She did such a great job putting the meal together (only minor assistance from me) and this was a perfect recipe for her skill level.  I’m not ready to set her free in the kitchen just yet, but it definitely has me looking forward to the day I can hand some of the dinner duties off to someone else.

This dish will definitely be a regular on our menu plan.  I love that it comes together in about 25 minutes and rivals most take out dishes.

​Recipe Tips:  Flank steak can be tough, for a more tender result,  add 3/4 cup of the Soy Vay Very Veri Teriyaki marinade and beef to a ziplock bag and allow to marinate for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
