ingredients

1 1/2 pound flank steak

Marinade

1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
4 tablespoons beef broth
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Lo Mein

8 ounces lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely shredded
1/2 cup shredded Chinese cabbage
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon soy sauce, optional

directions

Partially freeze the flank steak. Cut into thin strips across the grain.

Marinade: Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce and beef broth. Whisk in the cornstarch and sugar until blended. Place in a zip-top bag with the beef strips and let marinate for 30 minutes.

Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the low mein noodles and cook until almost done. Drain well and toss with the sesame oil.

In a wok over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil. When heated, add the beef and stir fry until just cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add additional oil to the wok if needed to yield two tablespoons. When hot, stir fry the garlic and carrots. Do not let the garlic burn.

Add the cabbage and stir fry for another minute or two. When the vegetables are to the desired doneness, stir in the cooked noodles and beef. Stir to heat through and mix thoroughly.

Serve immediately with additional soy sauce if desired.

    Am I missing something?There are no beef strips in the ingredient listing, yet this is a beef lo mein recipe that directs as follows:"Place in a zip-top bag with the beef strips and let marinate for 30 minutes."

    • CDKitchen Staff Reply:

      The very first ingredient is flank steak.

    Awesome! Yes it probably could be enhanced with more veggies and even some tofu, but the taste was great. I only wish I had doubled the recipes for leftovers. Definitely a keeper.

    Ok so I really like this recipe. I’ve made a few minor adjustments. I add more Asian veggies. The recipe calls for shredded carrots and Chinese cabbage. I added bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, baby corn, and straw mushrooms. I use a spicy oyster sauce, it’s a mild heat. It’s not a difficult recipe, and it’s a quick, yummy solution to a weeknight dinner. The kids like it too. 👩🏻‍🍳🥡🥢

    I have a question.... Since I do not have a wok, would a deep pot be ok to use?

      A deep skillet will work.

    This recipes gets a solid five for both ease of preparation,simplicity/availability of ingredients and most of all for the face that my family loves it!

    So does the lo mean itself not have a sauce over it? It just looks like the sesame oil is coating the noodles and the beef is flavored, but is the marinade not used as a sauce or anything? Wouldn't it be kind of dry without some kind of sauce on it?

      Follow the recipe, it's not dry at all.

    Was a little confused what the 1 tbs soy sauce listed was for but I am guessing that goes in at the end? That's what I did anyway. I'd say this recipe is pretty close to restaurant quality.

    I marinade the beef overnight. Makes it more tender. I use spaghetti noodles as they are cheaper than lo mein noodles. For ease though I use the shredded cole slaw cabbage because it has carrot in it too.
