Beef Lo Mein Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Beef:

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Lo Mein:

8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup sliced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snow peas

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

¼ cup beef broth

1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (slurry)

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Marinate Beef: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch until well coated. Set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Cook Noodles: Cook the lo mein noodles or spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Stir-Fry Beef: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.

Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and beef broth. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.

Thicken Sauce: Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Add Noodles: Add the cooked lo mein noodles or spaghetti and toss everything together until well coated.

Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot.
