This kung po beef noodles recipe is my go to when I want something delicious but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just 35 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner. I love how the tender steak gets coated in that punchy sauce alongside crispy cashews, which are packed with heart healthy fats and minerals. The broccoli adds a lovely fresh crunch and keeps things nutritious, while the egg noodles soak up all those incredible flavors. It's genuinely impressive to serve but honestly so simple to make.
