Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean beef sirloin
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Canola oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium Carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks Celery, sliced
- 8 ounces Chow mein noodles, uncooked
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, and grated ginger into the bowl with the beef. Mix well to coat the beef and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the sauce by combining the remaining low sodium soy sauce, low sodium oyster sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the hot pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining canola oil. Add the sliced yellow onion, red bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Add the cooked chow mein noodles to the wok with the vegetables, return the beef to the wok, and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients well with the sauce.
Add the bean sprouts and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the sprouts to heat through.
Drizzle sesame oil over the chow mein, add sliced green onions, and give it a final toss.
Serve the low sodium beef chow mein hot, dividing it equally among serving plates or bowls.
