Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey (can substitute with brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon browning (optional, adds color)

Beef Marinade

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

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced
  • 1/8 cup garlic, diced
  • 1/8 cup ginger, diced
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets
  • 16 ounces noodles (spaghetti works well)

Thickener

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and optional browning. In a separate small bowl, make a slurry by mixing cornstarch with cold water. Slowly whisk this slurry into the sauce mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  3. Marinate Beef: In a large bowl, combine the sliced steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine vinegar, and ground ginger. Mix well so the beef is coated evenly.
  4. Sear Beef: Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and sear until cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove beef from wok and set aside.
  5. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Using the same wok, add diced onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Then add broccoli florets and pre-cooked noodles to the wok. Stir-fry on high heat until the broccoli is tender-crisp and noodles are heated through.
  6. Add Sauce: Gradually pour the prepared sauce into the wok while stirring constantly to coat noodles, broccoli, and aromatics evenly. Continue stir-frying to allow the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
  7. Combine Beef: Return the cooked beef to the wok. Stir everything together and cook for an additional minute or two until the beef is warmed through and flavors are well blended.
  8. Serve Hot: Transfer the Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein to serving plates and enjoy immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For best texture, use flank steak or sirloin for the beef.
  • You can substitute spaghetti noodles with traditional lo mein or egg noodles.
  • Browning sauce is optional but adds a rich color and depth to the dish.
  • Adjust honey or brown sugar to taste for sweetness balance.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add chili flakes or sriracha sauce when stir-frying vegetables.
  • Make sure to cook noodles al dente as they will continue to cook slightly during stir-frying.
