Description

This homemade Beef Lo Mein with Vegetables is a quick and delicious stir-fry that rivals any takeout. Tender beef, crisp vegetables, and savory noodles are tossed in a rich, flavorful sauce. Perfect for a weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)

Instructions

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients (1/4 cup soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and white pepper). Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Transfer beef to a plate.
  5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok. Add bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Add the cooked noodles and beef back to the wok. Pour the sauce over everything and toss quickly to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles and vegetables.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use flank steak or sirloin sliced very thin against the grain. If you don’t have lo mein noodles, spaghetti or chow mein noodles work well. Adjust vegetables to your preference—snow peas, carrots, or mushrooms are great additions.
