Here’s a flavorful and quick recipe for Beef Lo Mein:

Ingredients:

• 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
• 1 lb beef (sirloin, flank steak, or skirt steak), thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinating the beef)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 green onions, sliced

For the sauce:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 cup beef or chicken broth (optional for extra sauce)

Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. While the noodles cook, toss the sliced beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch in a bowl. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
