8 ounces (about 1/2 lb) flank steak or sirloin, trimmed of fat, very thinly sliced against the grain

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon cornstarch

4-5 tablespoons cooking oil, divided

3 cups broccoli florets

1 teaspoon fresh minced (or grated) ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced
For the sauce

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (can also use gluten free tamari or coconut aminos for paleo)

3 tablespoons oyster flavored sauce (if allergic - leave out and use more soy sauce or hoisin sauce can be used but the flavor won't be quite the same since it's sweeter)

1 tablespoon of rice wine, Mirin or dry sherry

2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar

2 teaspoons of sesame oil

2 tablespoons corn starch

2/3 cup water (plus more as needed to thin out sauce)

1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional but if you already have it in your pantry, give it a try - it adds that extra rich umami flavor)

1 - 2 teaspoons of Thai chili garlic paste, red pepper chili flakes or Sriracha sauce - optional or to taste

Here is how you make Beef Lo-Mein:

f using dry noodles, prepare noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside. While the noodles are cooking, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.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 smoking pan and spread the pieces out to a single layer allowing them to sear and brown. Season with salt, black pepper and cornstarch.Cook until the meat is no longer pink (about 30 seconds making sure not to over cook). Quickly transfer beef to a serving plate and set aide.Add the same pan back to the stove and turn the heat to medium high heat. Add the remaining oil and let it heat up then toss in the broccoli and saute for 3-4 minutes, or until tender crisp. Add ginger and garlic, stirring for another 30 seconds until fragrant then add the seared beef back to the pan. Pour in sauce and stir until the sauce boils and thickens - about 30 seconds. Add more water if needed to thin out sauce. Quickly stir in the fresh or cooked noodles and toss everything together to coat well. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed, sprinkle sesame seeds, green onions or parsley over top and serve hot.Serving Size: 1/4 reciepeNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TINAKANTOR.
