Ingredients

Scale

8 oz lo mein noodles

1 lb beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp ginger, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)

1/4 cup water

1 tbsp sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch (if using), and water. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and stir to combine.
Return the cooked beef to the pan, then add the cooked noodles. Toss everything together, making sure the noodles and beef are coated in the sauce.
Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions on top before serving.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a bit of chili paste or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
You can also substitute the beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein.
