Beef Lo Mein Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Lo Mein:
8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snow peas
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch, ensuring the beef is well coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Cook the lo mein noodles or spaghetti as per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated beef until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the sliced onion, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and beef broth. Pour this sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked lo mein noodles or spaghetti to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the Beef Lo Mein hot.
