GROUND BEEF LO MEIN



Ground Beef Lo Mein image

Our home economists modified Penny Auclair's recipe to use up extra cooked ground beef. "I tried this when I was going to school full-time and wanted something quick, foolproof and delicious," writes the Amesbury, Massachusetts cook. "My family loves it." TIP: "For a change, use chicken breasts and chicken gravy instead of ground beef and beef gravy," Penny recommends.

BEEF LO MEIN



Beef Lo Mein image

A classic stir-fried noodle dish, just about the paradigm. You can make this with pork, chicken, shrimp, or any other bit of meat or fish you have or keep it entirely vegetarian; it's eminently flexible and an important part of every home cook's repertoire. The variation that follows is a traditional dish for New Year's celebrations and wedding banquets. E-fu noodles, which are long, thin, flat egg noodles, symbolize long life. Most Asian groceries carry them, but if you cannot find them, regular egg noodles are fine too. The meat will be easier to slice thinly if you freeze it for 30 to 60 minutes first. (This is always the case with any boneless meat or poultry.)

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt to taste
1/2 pound fresh Chinese egg noodles
3 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
1/2 pound sirloin (New York) strip steak, very thinly sliced and cut into 2-inch-long strips
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds broccoli, tops only, cut into bite-sized florets
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons peeled and minced or grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
1/2 cup unsalted cashews, roughly chopped, or shelled peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the noodles until tender but not mushy, then drain and rinse. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil to prevent sticking and set aside. Soak the meat in the soy sauce.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a deep skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn the heat to high. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring almost constantly. Remove this mixture from the pan.
  • Add the remaining oil and turn the heat to high. Drain the meat (reserve the soy sauce) and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Add the reserved soy sauce, along with the chicken stock, and stir. Add the drained noodles, vegetables, and nuts if desired. Toss to mix and reheat, then serve.
  • Substitute fresh or dried E-fu egg noodles for regular egg noodles. Omit the beef, onion, broccoli, red bell pepper, and cashews. Add 1 bunch of Chinese chives, cut into 2-inch lengths (about 2 cups), and 5 fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and sliced. In step 2, add the chives and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and stock and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the noodles, toss to reheat, and serve.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • Be sure to slice your beef and bacon thinly so that it cooks quickly and evenly.
  • To save time, you can cook the beef and bacon ahead of time and then refrigerate or freeze it until you're ready to make the lo mein.
  • If you like your lo mein spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili paste or Sriracha sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the beef and bacon and add extra vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.

Conclusion:

Beef n' Bacon Lo Mein is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
