Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 skillet or wok
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 strainer
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
  • 1 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ΒΌ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cooking the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the noodles are cooking, prepare the beef by slicing the flank steak into thin strips against the grain. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry until they start to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stir-frying for around 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Return the beef to the skillet. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Pour this sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  • Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
