Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced 1/4 inch thick against the grain
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 lb lo mein noodles
- 1 lb broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Marinate the beef. In a mixing bowl, add the thinly sliced beef, baking soda, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, water, and cornstarch. Mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Mix the stir-fry sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Mix until combined. Set aside.
- Boil broccoli. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil with a generous pinch of salt. Once it reaches a boil, add the broccoli and cook for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
- Boil the noodles. In the same pot of water, cook the fresh lo mein noodles for 1 minute. If using dried noodles, cook the noodles 1 minute less than the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- Cook the beef. Bring one tablespoon of cooking oil to a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Once the pan is hot, spread the marinated beef onto a single layer and cook for 30 seconds on each side until seared and browned. Remove from the wok and set it aside.
- Stir fry everything together. Add one tablespoon of cooking oil to the same wok on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, saute the minced garlic and ginger for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Then saute the broccoli for 1 minute. Next, add the sauce and bring to a simmer for 30 seconds. Lastly, add the beef and noodles, and toss together for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce has evenly coated the noodles. Turn off the heat, add the sesame oil, and toss to combine.
- Serve. Serve the beef and broccoli noodles with freshly diced green onions and rice.
Notes
- Flank steak works best for tenderness.
- Baking soda helps tenderize the beef.
- Blanching broccoli keeps it crisp.
- Lo mein noodles hold up well in stir-fries.
