A delicious homemade Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein recipe that combines tender flank steak, fresh broccoli, and lo mein noodles in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 ounces lo mein noodles
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of oyster sauce.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
