Better than Takeout Beef Lo Mein
If you are a lo mein lover like me, I am sure you have also tried making this popular dish at home at some point. Still looking for the “perfect” lo mein recipe? I’ve got just the right recipe for you!
This beef lo mein recipe is better than restaurant take out. You can make it anytime you want, and with a different protein if you need.
To make tender and juicy beef for the lo mein, start with fresh sirloin steak. Quality ingredients are the first step towards a delicious dish.
Cut the beef into large pieces or long strips, marinate briefly with salt, pepper and soy sauce before cooking. While cooking, as soon as the beef has just stopped being pink, remove from the heat and set aside.
Season the cooked lo mein noodles before getting ready for stir frying is really helpful when making stir-fried noodle dishes.
Not only does it make sure the noodles will be mixed with the seasonings evenly, it also helps to make the fast-paced stir frying process less stressful.
When the vegetable ingredients has turned soft, I added the previously set side beef and noodles into the pan, cook everything together for another 2 to 3 minutes until heated and well mixed.
After garnishing with green onion and toasted sesame seeds, a delicious homemade beef lo mein were ready.
If you like stir-fried lo mein, give this recipe a try, I guarantee you will like it!
