Description

Beef Lo Mein is a classic Chinese-American dish featuring tender beef, stir-fried vegetables, and soft noodles tossed in a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 1/2 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating beef)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, toss sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry bell pepper and snow peas for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the beef to the pan. Add cooked noodles and pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and beef broth. Toss everything to combine well.
  7. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and coated in sauce.
  8. Top with green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh lo mein noodles if available for best texture.
  • Flank steak or skirt steak works well due to its tenderness when sliced thin.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or bok choy.
