BEEF AND BROCCOLI LO MEIN
This takeout classic is beloved for a reason: It's mild, satisfying and dependable. The chewy noodles and tender beef make for a weeknight dinner that won't send you back to the fridge, snooping for a snack before bedtime. What makes this version better than the one from your neighborhood spot? A few things: It's fresher, hotter and arguably faster. In this version, smaller florets ensure that the beef and broccoli cook quickly, and are easily scooped up with chopsticks. The florets' size also lowers your chances of overcooking them before they're crisp and tender. To finish, add sesame oil, if you have it, but don't sweat it if you don't.

Steps:
- Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, about 4 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Meanwhile, stir together the garlic, soy sauce and brown sugar, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large wok or skillet until hot and shimmering. Add the beef, ginger, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, and cook until crisp on the outside but still pink inside, 2 minutes. Season with salt, and move to a plate.
- Add remaining oil to the wok and heat until shimmering. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and steam the broccoli until bright green and some of the liquid has evaporated, 2 minute more. Add the noodles, beef, ginger, carrots and soy sauce mixture to the pan, and toss over medium heat until coated and thickened a little, about 1 to 2 minutes. Salt to taste. Sprinkle with scallions, and drizzle with sesame oil, if using. Toss to coat and serve warm, with lime.

BEEF LO MEIN WITH BROCCOLI AND BELL PEPPER
This recipe is out of American Test Kitchen's cookbook, "Cooking for Two". It is not the easiest recipe, requiring a lot of steps, however then end result is DELICIOUS! My only suggestion would be to watch your noodles, so that you don't overcook them

Steps:
- Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil together in medium bowl. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into separate bowl, then stir in beef. Cover and marinate beef in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour. Whisk broth and cornstarch into remaining mixture. In separate small bowl, combine garlic, ginger and 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
- Heat 1 tablespoons vegetable oil in 10-inch non-stick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add beef, break up any clumps and cook, without stirring, for 1 minutes. Stir beef and continue to cook until browned, about 1 minute; transfer to large clean bowl.
- Wipe now-empty skillet clean, add 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and heat over high heat until just smoking. Add broccoli and cook 30 seconds. Add water, cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until water has evaporated and broccoli begins to brown, about 2 minutes; transfer to bowl with beef.
- Add remaining 1 teaspoons vegetable oil and bell pepper to again-empty skillet and cook over high heat until crisp-tender and spotty brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in scallions and continue to cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Push vegetables to sides of skillet. Add garlic mixture to center and cook, mashing mixture into skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir garlic mixture into vegetables, then stir in cooked beef and broccoli with any accumulated juices. Whisk broth mixture to recombine, then add to skillet and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 1 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of water to boil in large pot. Add noodles and cook, stirring often, until tender. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain noodles and return them to pot. Add beef mixture and chili-garlic sauce and toss to combine. Adjust consistency with reserved cooking water as needed. Serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your lo mein taste its best. Look for crisp broccoli, tender beef, and flavorful noodles.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Lo mein noodles should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow you to cook all of the ingredients evenly. If you use a small pan, the ingredients will be crowded and won't cook properly.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of beef, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and become tough.
- Add the vegetables last: The vegetables should be added to the pan last so that they don't overcook. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes lo mein special. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
Conclusion:
Broccoli beef lo mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give broccoli beef lo mein a try. You won't be disappointed!
