Ingredients
8 oz Flank Steak, thinly sliced against the grain
8 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, thinly sliced
1 tbsp Soy Sauce (for marinade)
1 tsp Cornstarch (for marinade)
12 oz Lo Mein Noodles or Spaghetti
2 tbsp Canola Oil, divided
1 Broccoli Head, cut into florets
1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Carrot, julienned
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
**For the Sauce:**
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Brown Sugar, packed
1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Sriracha (optional)
1 tbsp Cornstarch
**For Garnish:**
Toasted Sesame Seeds
Sliced Green Onions
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef and chicken. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with 1 tsp of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha, and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Set aside.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of canola oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer (work in batches) and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
5. Add the chicken to the wok and cook for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside with the beef.
6. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the wok. Add the broccoli florets and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes more, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
8. Return the cooked beef and chicken to the wok. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything.
9. Toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce boils, thickens, and evenly coats all the ingredients.
10. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
Slicing the meat partially frozen makes it much easier to get thin, uniform cuts.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the meat, or it will steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if needed.
Prep all ingredients (chop veggies, make sauce, cook noodles) before you start stir-frying, as the cooking process is very fast.
