Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

½ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
salt, to taste
3 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
6 oz chow mein noodle, hong kong style pan fried noodles, par cooked according to package instructions
½ cup onion, sliced
1 cup broccoli floret
2 teaspoons sesame oil
scallion, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

In a 2-cup (480 ml) liquid measuring cup, combine the water, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and white pepper.
In a medium bowl, season the steak strips with salt. Pour half of the sauce over the meat and set the rest aside for later. Mix the sauce with the steak, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then add the par-cooked noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to crisp, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the marinated beef. Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until slightly crispy. Remove from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and add onion and broccoli. Season with salt, then stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
Return the steak to the wok, followed by the crispy noodles and sesame oil. Mix well and pour in the reserved sauce. Toss gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is well-combined. Garnish with sliced scallions.
Enjoy!

BEEF AND BROCCOLI LO MEIN

Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package lo mein noodles
Salt
3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
1 pound chuck or rib steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and cut into rounds
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
2 carrots, shredded
3 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced
2 to 3 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)
1 lime, cut in wedges, for serving

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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 lb flank steak, frozen 15 minutes, halved lengthwise, and sliced thinly across the grain
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 lb fresh shiitake mushroom (can use reconstituted dried)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 cups fresh broccoli florets (try not to use frozen)
1/4 cup lower-sodium chicken stock, divided
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

First prepare the marinade. Combine sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a medium bowl. Add sliced beef; toss gently. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Heat a 12-inch skillet (or wok) over high heat until very hot. Add 1 teaspoon canola oil coating pan. Add about half the beef. Cook, without stirring, 1 minute. Remove beef from pan (it will still be pink in places). Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining beef. Cover beef loosely and set aside. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Stir fry green onions, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and red pepper flakes until just fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup broth to pan, cover and steam 5 to 6 minutes.
To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a small jar; shake well.
When broccoli is crisp-tender, return beef and add sauce. Toss gently, cooking until sauce thickens slightly.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for fresh beef, broccoli, and vegetables, and use a good quality soy sauce and oyster sauce.
Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and rice wine will help to tenderize it and give it more flavor.
Cook the beef quickly: Beef should be cooked quickly over high heat to keep it tender and juicy. Do not overcook it, or it will become tough.
Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting the perfect sear on the beef and vegetables. If your wok is not hot enough, the food will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Spicy Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its tender beef, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
