Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g lean beef strips (such as sirloin)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 200g lo mein noodles
Sauce (natural)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp grape juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp natural gelling agent
Aromatics & Garnish
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain for tenderness. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and ginger. Slice green onions for garnish. Cook lo mein noodles according to the package directions, drain, and set aside.
- Make the sauce (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, grape juice, sesame oil, and natural gelling agent until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a little sesame oil and sear the beef strips until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep aside to maintain tenderness.
- Sauté the broccoli and aromatics: In the same pan, add sesame oil, then add minced garlic and ginger, cooking briefly until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry until bright green and crisp-tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Combine noodles, beef, and sauce: Return the cooked noodles and beef to the pan with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce (natural) over the mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly and heat through thoroughly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately to enjoy warm and fresh.
Notes
- Use high heat for stir-frying to lock in flavors and keep vegetables crisp.
- Slice beef thinly to ensure quick cooking and tender texture.
- Prepare all ingredients in advance to streamline the cooking process.
- Do not overcook broccoli; keep it bright green and crunchy.
- Adjust sauce thickness by adding more natural gelling agent for a thicker sauce or more grape juice for a lighter coating.
