Beef-Broccoli Lo Mein

I just realized today that my little cooking blog is now 1 year old!!  Very cool!  I am so appreciative to everyone that takes the time to read this!  I love to read so many of your blogs too, I just don't take the time to comment as much as I should.  I am going to try to be better about that in the coming year because I so LOVE to read comments that people leave me!

On that note, I have a question for you!  Have you tried any recipes from this blog?  What was your favorite recipe?

I feel just terrible that I haven't gotten many new recipes up lately.  Here is one that I have been making for a few years now.  It is one of my go-to Chinese recipes that hits the spot every time.  I hope you enjoy it!

Here are the ingredients you will need to get started:


Beef-Broccoli Lo Mein

8 oz. uncooked spaghetti noodles
1 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp. peanut oil
1 Tbsp. fresh ginger (minced and peeled)
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 c. broccoli, chopped
1 1/2 c. vertically sliced onion
1-11/2 lb. flank steak, trimmed and cut across the grain into long, thin strips
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
1 Tbsp. chili paste with garlic

Cook pasta according the the package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.  Combine pasta and sesame oil, tossing well to coat.

While the pasta cooks, heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the ginger and garlic; saute 30 seconds.  Add broccoli and onion; saute 3 minutes.  Add steak, and saute 5 minutes or until done.  Add pasta mixture, soy sauce, and remaining ingredients; cook 1 minute or until lo mein is thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.

  2. This looks great - I will definitely try it.

    My favourite recipe from you that I tried last year is the Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos. They are now a mainstay because my family loves them :-) A million thank you's!
