Best Beef Chow Mein image

From my experience many of the recipes I have found for chow mein and lo mein seem to be either dry or very bland. I have been working at this one and my family has decided that this is the one and I will never have to order out again.

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 cups water
14 ounces chow mein noodles (such as Golden Dragon®)
1 pound flank steak, cut into thin strips
6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
¼ cup soy sauce, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch
6 cloves garlic, crushed, divided
1 cup water
1 (1.5 ounce) package chow mein sauce mix (such as Su Wong®)
2 tablespoons teriyaki glaze
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, or more to taste
¼ cup peanut oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup broccoli florets
2 stalks celery, sliced
8 ounces bean sprouts
12 fresh shrimp
1 ½ cups chopped bok choy

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook chow mein noodles until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water.
  • Mix flank steak, teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, and 2 cloves garlic together in a small bowl.
  • Mix remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 cloves garlic, 1 cup water, chow mein sauce mix, teriyaki glaze, and sriracha sauce in a separate bowl to make sauce.
  • Preheat a wok over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add steak and onion; cook and stir until beef is brown and onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Pour remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil into the wok. Add carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and celery; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Return steak and onion mixture to the wok. Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts, shrimp, bok choy; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are heated through and shrimp are opaque, about 4 minutes. Season with pepper.

This beef chow mein was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra soy sauce and it was much better.
