A glossy beef and broccoli lo mein sits in a shallow white bowl on a dark wooden board. Tender beef slices mingle with bright broccoli florets and glossy noodles, all coated in a savory soy glaze. Sesame seeds and sliced scallions add color, while a pair of chopsticks rests at the edge and a light steam rises from the surface.

  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 1 lb beef flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • Sesame seeds and scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add garlic and ginger to the pan; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Return beef to the pan with broccoli and sauces. Stir well.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use 8 oz of noodles and extra broccoli.
  • Sub in thinly sliced chicken or pork if you prefer.
  • To prevent overcooking broccoli, add it after searing the beef and cook just until bright green.
