Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti, if unavailable)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, steam or blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce mixture aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the cooked noodles and sauce mixture to the skillet. Toss to coat the noodles in the sauce. Add the cooked beef and broccoli, and stir to combine everything evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can swap out the beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu if you prefer.
- If you want extra veggies, feel free to add bell peppers, mushrooms, or carrots to the stir-fry.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
