Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

A delightful, Asian-inspired stir-fry featuring tender flank steak and vibrant broccoli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lo mein noodles and cook until al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Prepare the steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and flank steak in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Add the broccoli and garlic: Stir in broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Create the sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Pour over beef and broccoli, stirring to coat.
  5. Combine with noodles: Toss in the cooked lo mein noodles, mixing gently to ensure even coating. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve hot: Plate and enjoy your Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein with a sprinkle of green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with tofu or tempeh. Add more vegetables for extra crunch.
