Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon browning (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for sauce slurry)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for sauce slurry)

Beef Marinade

  • 1 pound steak, sliced (flank steak or sirloin preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1/4 cup onions, diced
  • 1/8 cup garlic, diced
  • 1/8 cup fresh ginger, diced
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets

Noodles

  • 16 ounces noodles (spaghetti used as substitute)

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and browning (if using). In another container, combine cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Slowly incorporate the slurry into the sauce mixture and set aside.
  3. Marinate Beef: In a large bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine vinegar, and ground ginger. Stir to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate briefly.
  4. Sear Beef: Heat sesame oil in a hot wok or large skillet. Add the marinated beef and sear until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
  5. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In the same wok, add onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then add broccoli florets and cooked noodles. Stir-fry on high heat until broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  6. Add Sauce: Gradually pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables while stirring continuously to evenly coat everything.
  7. Combine Beef: Return the cooked beef to the wok and toss all ingredients together, cooking until everything is heated through and flavors are well combined.
  8. Serve: Serve the Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein hot for a delightful meal.

Notes

  • Use flank steak or sirloin for the best texture and flavor in the beef.
  • You can substitute spaghetti noodles if lo mein noodles are not available.
  • Browning sauce is optional but enhances the color of the dish.
  • Ensure broccoli is tender but crisp to maintain texture and nutrition.
  • Adjust honey or brown sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
  • For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
