Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey (you can also you brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon browning (optional - I like to use this because it adds color)
  • 1 pound steak , sliced (I love using flank steak or sirloin for this recipe)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tbsps sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup onions diced
  • 1/8 cup garlic diced
  • 1/8 cup ginger diced
  • 16 ounces broccoli
  • 16 ounces noodles (I used spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. Prepare noodles according to the package directions, then drain and set them aside.
  2. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and browning in a bowl; in a separate small dish combine cornstarch and water to form a slurry and gradually mix it into the sauce mixture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine vinegar, and ground ginger until fully coated.
  4. Heat sesame oil in a wok over high heat, quickly sear the beef to your liking, then remove and rest on a plate.
  5. Using the same wok, cook the diced onions, garlic, and ginger for 2 to 3 minutes until aromatic.
  6. Add the broccoli florets and cooked noodles to the wok and stir-fry over high heat until the broccoli is tender crisp.
  7. Slowly pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables while stirring constantly to blend everything evenly.
  8. Return the cooked beef to the wok and heat all ingredients together until warmed through.
  9. Dish up the beef and broccoli lo mein hot and enjoy right away.

Notes

  • For best color, consider adding browning to the sauce, but it's optional. Use flank steak or sirloin for tender beef slices. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
