Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean beef sirloin
• 200 grams Whole grain chow mein noodles
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 150 grams Broccoli florets
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0 Vegetable oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain for tenderness.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Add the beef strips, mix to coat well, and marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the whole grain chow mein noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare all vegetables by slicing the onion, bell pepper, and julienning the carrot. Cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the surface with vegetable oil spray.

Step 6

Add the marinated beef strips in batches, if necessary, and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Return the beef to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles, remaining soy sauce, remaining oyster sauce, bean sprouts, and green onions. Stir everything together to combine well.

Step 10

Drizzle the sesame oil over the chow mein, toss once more, and serve hot.
