Beef Lo Mein

Step 1

Combine the steak with the marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until well coated and marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under running cold water to stop cooking. Drain and toss with a drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and heat over high heat until hot. Spread the marinated steak without overlapping. Cook without disturbing until the bottom turns golden brown, 1 minute or so. Flip to cook the other side until browned but the inside is still a bit pink. Transfer the beef to a big plate and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic. Stir a few times to release the fragrance, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the white part of the green onion, onions, carrots, and cabbage. Stir fry until the cabbage begins to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the noodles and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on top. Toss the noodles a few times to mix with the oil.

Step 8

Pour in the sauce and toss everything together.

Step 9

Add back the cooked steak and toss again, until the sauce is fully absorbed.

Step 10

Add the bean sprouts and green onion greens. Stir a few times until the bean sprouts are just wilted but remain crispy.

Step 11

Transfer everything to serving plates and serve hot.
