Instructions

Step 1:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together hot boiled water, Beef Better Than Bouillon, and brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in soy sauce and set aside.

Step 2:

  • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the thinly sliced beef until golden brown, then remove and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, sauté the onions with a drizzle of oil until golden brown, then remove and set aside.

Step 4:

  • Add the carrots to the skillet, cooking until slightly softened. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5:

  • Return the seared beef and onions to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and let simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6:

  • Toss in the cooked lo mein noodles, mixing well to evenly coat with the sauce.

Step 7:

  • Transfer to a large serving dish, give it a final toss, and serve hot.

Notes

Cooking Notes

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain for the most tender texture.

  • Lo mein noodles should be slightly firm when cooked to avoid sogginess.

  • Stir-frying the ingredients in stages ensures even cooking and great texture.
