Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz lean beef strips (sirloin preferred)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the beef strips against the grain to ensure tenderness. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Boil the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Set the sauce aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Cook the beef: Heat a splash of oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry until browned and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  4. Stir-fry broccoli: In the same pan, add a little more oil and add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp, preserving the fresh green color and crunch.
  5. Combine everything: Return the cooked noodles and beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the top. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Finish the dish by sprinkling chopped green onions on top for freshness and a pop of color. Serve immediately while warm and inviting.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly and against the grain to maintain tenderness.
  • Use high heat while stir-frying to keep the vegetables crisp and flavorful.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook beef and vegetables in batches if necessary for a better sear.
  • Fresh lo mein noodles provide the best texture, but dried noodles are acceptable with proper cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
