BEEF AND BROCCOLI LO MEIN
This takeout classic is beloved for a reason: It's mild, satisfying and dependable. The chewy noodles and tender beef make for a weeknight dinner that won't send you back to the fridge, snooping for a snack before bedtime. What makes this version better than the one from your neighborhood spot? A few things: It's fresher, hotter and arguably faster. In this version, smaller florets ensure that the beef and broccoli cook quickly, and are easily scooped up with chopsticks. The florets' size also lowers your chances of overcooking them before they're crisp and tender. To finish, add sesame oil, if you have it, but don't sweat it if you don't.

Steps:
- Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, about 4 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Meanwhile, stir together the garlic, soy sauce and brown sugar, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large wok or skillet until hot and shimmering. Add the beef, ginger, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, and cook until crisp on the outside but still pink inside, 2 minutes. Season with salt, and move to a plate.
- Add remaining oil to the wok and heat until shimmering. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and steam the broccoli until bright green and some of the liquid has evaporated, 2 minute more. Add the noodles, beef, ginger, carrots and soy sauce mixture to the pan, and toss over medium heat until coated and thickened a little, about 1 to 2 minutes. Salt to taste. Sprinkle with scallions, and drizzle with sesame oil, if using. Toss to coat and serve warm, with lime.

Steps:
- Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil together in medium bowl. Measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into separate bowl, then stir in beef.

In separate small bowl, combine garlic, ginger and 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
- Heat 1 tablespoons vegetable oil in 10-inch non-stick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add beef, break up any clumps and cook, without stirring, for 1 minutes. Stir beef and continue to cook until browned, about 1 minute; transfer to large clean bowl.
- Wipe now-empty skillet clean, add 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and heat over high heat until just smoking. Add broccoli and cook 30 seconds. Add water, cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until water has evaporated and broccoli begins to brown, about 2 minutes; transfer to bowl with beef.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, brown beef with onion and garlic; drain.
- Add bean sprouts, mushrooms, and water chestnuts.
- Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the vermicelli, broccoli, soy sauce, oyster sauce, if desired, and ginger; toss to coat.
- Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, tender beef, and a flavorful sauce will make all the difference in your beef lo mein.
- Cook the noodles properly: Lo mein noodles should be cooked al dente, with a slight chew to them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a large wok or skillet: This will allow you to easily stir-fry the noodles and vegetables without overcrowding them.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you try to cook all of the beef at once, it will crowd the pan and steam instead of searing. Cook the beef in two or three batches, removing it from the pan after it is cooked and setting it aside until all of the beef is cooked.
- Add the vegetables last: Vegetables cook quickly, so add them to the pan last. Stir-fry them for just a few minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the dish together. Use a store-bought sauce or make your own using soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Serve immediately: Beef lo mein is best served immediately, while the noodles are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
Conclusion:
Beef lo mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give beef lo mein a try. You won't be disappointed!
