  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 1 lb beef flank steak or sirloin, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Return the beef to the wok along with the steamed broccoli. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing gently to combine all ingredients. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

Notes

  • Adjust the sauce quantities to taste for more savory or sweeter flavor.
  • You can substitute other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms for variety.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace beef with tofu or extra vegetables.
