Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces chow mein noodles
- 8 ounces beef (flank steak or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set aside.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Marinate the beef with soy sauce and cornstarch for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the green bell pepper and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Then add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until softened.
In a small bowl, mix together the tomato ketchup, oyster sauce, chicken broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour this sauce mixture into the wok.
Return the cooked beef to the wok and stir well to coat it in the sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cooked chow mein noodles and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy.
Pour the beef and tomato mixture over the noodles. Toss everything together gently until the noodles are fully coated and heated through.
Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving. Enjoy your Tomato Beef Chow Mein!
