Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces, white and light green parts separated from dark green parts
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
- ½ cup oyster sauce
- ½ cup low-sodium beef broth
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- ¼ cup chopped fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pound broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 –14 ounce thick lo mein noodles
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Cut steak in half lengthwise, with grain then cut each half against grain into thin ¼-inch pieces; season with 1 teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering.
- Add beef and scallion white and light green parts to skillet; use tongs to arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until beef is browned on bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Stir and continue to cook until beef is no longer pink, 2–3 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, drop noodles in boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- For sauce, whisk together ½ cup oyster sauce, ½ cup broth, 3 tablespoons tamari, ¼ cup ginger, 2 tablespoons garlic, and 2 tablespoons honey. Add 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- Add sauce mixture and broccoli to skillet and toss to combine. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, 3–5 minutes, uncovering and stirring beef and broccoli occasionally.
- Off heat, add cooked noodles and scallion greens and toss to combine.
Equipment
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make Ahead Tips:
- Prep everything ahead of time. Slice the steak, cut the broccoli into florets, and whisk up the stir fry sauce ahead of time. Store everything (separately) in containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to cook, simply pull everything out of the fridge and dinner is done in just 10 minutes!
- You may be tempted to use frozen broccoli, but don't. For an equally as convenient option, use a bag of raw broccoli florets. Buying pre-prepped veggies can save 5–10 minutes of prep work.
- Use a jarred sauce—this will decrease prep time and shorten your grocery list!
