This home-cooked Beef Lo Mein recipe tastes just like what you'd get at a Chinese takeout restaurant (or better, because it uses more vegetables than your typical takeout). It's also easy to make. If you love lo mein, it's a must-try recipe!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 24

12 ounces flank steak
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pound fresh lo mein noodles
1 clove garlic ((minced))
1 carrot ((medium carrot, julienned))
1/2 red bell pepper ((julienned))
1/2 cup mushrooms ((sliced))
1/2 cup bamboo shoots ((strips or sliced))
2 cups Napa cabbage ((shredded))
2/3 cup snow peas
2 cups mung bean sprouts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((divided))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
2 scallions ((julienned, white and green parts separated))

Steps:

  • Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. Place the sliced beef in a small bowl with baking soda, corn starch, soy sauce, and oil. This velveting step will make the beef tender and flavorful, with a glistening look. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the lo mein sauce by combining the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and ground white pepper in a small bowl.
  • If using cooked lo mein noodles, rinse them under hot tap water to loosen them and drain thoroughly. If using uncooked noodles, cook them according to package instructions until they're al dente, and drain thoroughly. Set aside. Prepare the garlic and all the vegetables to have them ready for cooking. Arrange them in the order you will add them to the wok.
  • Place your wok over high heat until it's smoking lightly. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to coat the wok, and add the beef so it's all in one layer on the hot wok surface. Sear each side for about 30 seconds. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil, along with the garlic, carrots, peppers, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add the bamboo shoots and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for another 20 seconds, and then add the napa cabbage. Make sure your heat is at its highest now, and stir-fry everything together for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the prepared noodles. They should be warm or at room temperature, and not stuck together! If they are, just rinse them in hot water to loosen them up.
  • Add the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and toss the vegetables and noodles together using a scooping motion. After the noodles are warmed up (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), and your pre-mixed sauce.
  • Continue stir-frying with a scooping motion until the sauce is evenly distributed, making sure to scrape the bottom of the wok to prevent the noodles from sticking. High heat and a well-seasoned wok should also prevent any sticking.
  • Next, add the snow peas, mung bean sprouts, and beef (along with any juices that may have collected in the bowl). Continue stir-frying until the noodles are heated through and everything is thoroughly mixed.
  • Toss in the green parts of the scallions, and taste the lo mein. Adjust the seasoning to your liking (feel free to add more salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, or white pepper according to your own palate). Plate and serve with homemade chili oil or hot sauce on the side!

BEEF LO MEIN



Beef Lo Mein image

Easy, healthy beef lo mein featuring tender beef sautéed with broccoli, noodles and fresh vegetables in a yummy sweet and savory sauce.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound sirloin (top round steak, or flank steak)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons water (divided)
6 ounces long noodles such as whole grain spaghetti (or whole grain fettuccine, soba noodles, or udon noodles)
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (plus additional to taste)
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
4 cloves garlic (minced or grated (about 1 heaping tablespoon))
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus additional to taste
1 tablespoon canola oil (or peanut or grapeseed oil)
2 medium carrots (peeled and cut into thin coins)
1 head broccoli (cut into small florets (about 3 cups), or 3 cups thinly sliced cabbage)
1 red bell pepper cored and thinly sliced
1 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained
4 green onions thinly sliced (divided)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (optional)

Steps:

  • For easier slicing, place the beef in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. Cut the beef across the grain into very thin (1/4-inch or smaller) slices. Cut any long slices in half cross wise (each strip should be around 3 inches or so long).
  • Place the beef in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the baking soda and 2 tablespoons of the water. Pour over the beef and toss to coat. Let sit 5 minutes (this helps to tenderize it).
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted water, cook the noodles just until al dente. Drain and rinse under cool water. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Keep handy near the stove.
  • In a wok or large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium high. Add the beef and cook until crisp on the outside but still pink on the inside, about 3 minutes. The beef will give off liquid, which is fine. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the sauce and let cook 30 seconds. With a large spoon, scoop the beef onto a plate (any cooking juices left behind will cook away).
  • Add the carrots, broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of water and let the vegetables steam until the broccoli turns bright green and most of the liquid has cooked away, about 2 minutes more.
  • Stir in the water chestnuts, half of the green onions, and 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture and let cook 30 additional seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the noodles and beef and pour the remaining soy sauce mixture over the top. With tongs, stir and toss until the noodles are heated through.
  • Drizzle the sesame oil over the top (if using) and sprinkle on the remaining green onion. Toss to combine. Enjoy!

Clearly I am still on my Asian kick. My family, I fear, is over it. I just can't help myself. Now that I have a better understanding of the ingredients and how to prepare them, I just want more.
