Description

This Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein is a flavorful and satisfying Asian-inspired noodle dish featuring tender flank steak, crisp broccoli florets, and savory sauces tossed with perfectly cooked lo mein noodles. Quick to prepare, this stir-fry combines a harmonious blend of soy, oyster, and hoisin sauces with aromatic garlic and green onions, making it a perfect weeknight main course for four servings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¾ pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Extra green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Prepare the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and ground black pepper until smooth and well combined. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
  3. Sear Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  4. Steam Broccoli: Using the same pan, add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover the pan and steam for 2 to 3 minutes until the broccoli is just tender but still crisp.
  5. Sauté Aromatics: Remove the cover, add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the pan with the broccoli, and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Combine and Toss: Return the cooked beef to the pan along with the drained noodles. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dish to heat through evenly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Plate the beef and broccoli lo mein and garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute flank steak with chicken, shrimp, or tofu to suit dietary preferences.
  • Be careful not to overcook the broccoli to maintain its bright color and crunch.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the sauce to your taste, adding more brown sugar for sweetness or extra soy sauce for saltiness.
