Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

1. Cook Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lo mein noodles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine pressed garlic, soy sauce, and dark brown sugar. Set aside for later use.

3. Sear Beef

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Add thinly sliced beef, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and sear until browned. Transfer beef to a plate.

4. Cook Broccoli

In the same wok, add the remaining oil and broccoli florets. Cook for a minute, then add a splash of water and steam for about 4 minutes until crisp-tender.

5. Combine Ingredients

Return beef to the wok with ginger, shredded carrots, soy sauce mixture, and drained noodles. Toss over medium heat until well combined and the sauce coats the noodles.

6. Garnish and Serve

Scatter thinly sliced scallions and drizzle sesame oil over the lo mein. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
