A quick and flavorful Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein packed with tender beef, fresh broccoli, and chewy noodles in a savory sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights!
– 8 oz lo mein noodles
– 1 lb beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp oyster sauce
– 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
– 1 tbsp sesame oil
– 2 tbsp vegetable oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp ginger, minced
– 2 green onions, chopped
– 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef, season with salt & pepper, and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, heat remaining oil, add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 30 seconds.
4. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add a splash of water if needed.
5. Return beef to the pan, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil, stirring well to combine.
6. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in water and add it to the pan. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
7. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
– Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
– Swap beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.
– To prevent noodles from becoming mushy, cook them al dente and rinse under cold water.
