¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons chile sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ pound thinly-cut flat iron steaks

¼ white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Steps:

Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, red wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, honey, chile sauce, and black pepper together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Brush marinade onto steak strips and broccoli, reserving some for the noodles. Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.

Tips:

To make the beef chow mein more flavorful, use a combination of light and dark soy sauce. Dark soy sauce has a richer, more robust flavor than light soy sauce, and it will give the chow mein a deeper color.
If you don't have any Chinese rice wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
To make the chow mein more spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili oil or Sriracha sauce. You can also add some chopped fresh chili peppers.
If you don't have any bean sprouts, you can substitute shredded cabbage or carrots.
To make the chow mein more crispy, cook the noodles in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the noodles until they are slightly browned and crispy.

Conclusion:

Beef chow mein is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. It is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a family meal or a party. With its bold flavors and crispy noodles, beef chow mein is a classic Chinese dish that is sure to be a hit.
