Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 12 ounces chow mein noodles
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 cups cabbage
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 stalks green onions (scallions)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain. In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: mince the garlic, slice the onion into thin strips, julienne the carrot, thinly slice the bell pepper, shred the cabbage, and chop the green onions.
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Set aside as the stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet, then add the cooked noodles and stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Add the bean sprouts and half of the chopped green onions, stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Season with black pepper. Adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce if needed.
Serve the beef chow mein hot, garnished with the remaining green onions.
