Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

My husband said this was the perfect beef and broccoli.  It wasn't too spicy and had a hint of sweetness to it which balanced it out.   I used sirloin steak which was sliced thinly into strips and I used linguini noodles instead of spaghetti, which really held onto the flavorful sauce.  You could easily add pea pods, baby corn or carrots to this dish as well!

Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein
Recipe adapted from Relish!

Ingredients
  • 8 oz. spaghetti - I used linguini
  • 1 T. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 T. peanut oil - I used canola
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 3 T. ginger, minced
  • 1 medium bunch of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/2 white onion, sliced
  • 1 lb. flank steak, trimmed of fat and cut into strips - I used sirloin
  • 3 T. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 T. brown sugar
  • 1 T. chili paste - I used Sriracha
 Directions
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until cooked but still firm to the bite.
  • Drain, return to pot and add sesame oil, tossing well to coat.
  • While pasta cooks, heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ginger and garlic; sauté 30 seconds.
  • Add broccoli and onion; sauté 3 minutes.
  • Add steak, and sauté 5 minutes or until done.
  • Add pasta mixture, soy sauce, brown sugar and chile paste; cook 1 minute or until lo mein is thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.
