Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Flank steak or sirloin Thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 oz Lo mein noodles Fresh or dried egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil Divided for cooking
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large Carrot Julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Green beans Trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 small Onion Sliced into strips
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce Low sodium preferred
  • 2 tbsp Oyster sauce Adds umami depth
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil Toasted
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar Or honey
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch Mixed with 1 tbsp water for thickening
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds For garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and toss with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add onions, carrots, broccoli, and green beans. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Return the beef (and any juices) to the pan along with the cooked noodles.
  • Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and beef. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry if a thicker sauce is desired and cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
