Servings 4 -5
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti noodles
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 8- ounce Fresh Moyer Beef Sirloin Steak sliced thin
- 3 garlic cloves minced1 teaspoon fresh minced (or grated) ginger
- 1 medium carrot shredded
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- If using dry noodles, prepare noodles according to package directions, add the broccoli the last 5 minutes of cooking and cook until tender.
- While the noodles are cooking, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce
- Drain the Noodles and Broccoli when tender.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat, for about 2 minutes. The pan needs to be hot enough that you start seeing a little bit of smoke rising. Quickly add the beef to the hot pan and spread the pieces out to a single layer allowing them to sear and brown. Season with salt, black pepper.
- Cook until the meat is no longer pink (about 30 seconds making sure not to overcook).
- Add ginger, garlic and carrots, stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in sauce and stir until the sauce is warmed up - about 30 seconds. Quickly stir in the cooked noodles and toss everything together to coat well.
- Season with additional salt and pepper as needed, garnish with green onions and serve hot.
Notes
If you have leftovers, the noodles tend to absorb a lot of the sauce. We love doubling the amount of sauce and saving half of it in a resealable jar in the fridge to use on the leftovers
