Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 300g lean beef strips (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Noodles
- 200g lo mein noodles
Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (natural), plus extra for cooking
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef against the grain for tenderness. Chop broccoli into small florets. Mince garlic and ginger. Boil the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (natural), sesame oil (natural), and the natural gelling agent if using. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat with a splash of sesame oil (natural). Add beef strips and cook quickly until browned and juicy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Broccoli and Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more sesame oil (natural). Stir-fry broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger and stir constantly to avoid burning while releasing their aroma.
- Combine Everything: Return beef to the pan along with cooked noodles. Pour the sauce over all ingredients and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Heat through and allow sauce to thicken slightly for a glossy finish.
Notes
- Use high heat to sear beef and keep broccoli crisp.
- Slice beef thinly for faster cooking and tenderness.
- Do not overcook noodles; keep them slightly firm.
- Chop vegetables and prepare sauce ahead to reduce cooking time.
- Fresh garlic and ginger significantly enhance flavor.
