Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Marinade

  • 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (natural)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (natural)

Vegetables and Noodles

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent

Aromatics and Oil

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Slice your beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Quickly marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil (natural), and a pinch of brown sugar (natural) for at least 10 minutes to infuse great flavor.
  2. Cook the Noodles and Broccoli: Boil your lo mein noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are crisp-tender, keeping their bright green color and fresh crunch intact.
  3. Stir-Fry the Aromatics and Beef: In a hot wok or large skillet, add a splash of sesame oil (natural), then toss in minced garlic and grated ginger to release their fragrance. Add the marinated beef and cook over high heat until it is browned and just cooked through.
  4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked noodles and broccoli to the pan with the beef. Pour your prepared sauce (natural) over everything a savory mix of soy sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent to thicken it slightly. Toss everything together gently to coat evenly and warm through.
  5. Final Touches: Check seasoning and adjust soy sauce (natural) or brown sugar (natural) as needed. Serve immediately while hot for the best experience.

Notes

  • Slice thinly: Make sure your beef strips are thin to cook quickly and stay tender.
  • High heat cooking: Stir-frying over high heat keeps the vegetables crisp and the beef juicy.
  • Don’t overcook noodles: Slightly undercook lo mein noodles so they don’t get mushy when tossed in the sauce.
  • Prep ahead: Chop and measure all ingredients before cooking to move quickly through the stir-fry process.
  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will maintain its sweet flavor and crunchy texture better than frozen.
