This easy beef lo mein recipe is a great combination of tender noodles, crunchy veggies, beef, and a yummy sauce! Itβs spicy, easy to make, and so delicious!
This easy beef lo mein has fiveΒ main components: the marinade, the beef, the veggies, the nooooodles, and the best part, the sauce.
Quick, easy, and of course, delicious!
1. The marinade. It’s perfectly salty, loaded with the right amount of garlic, has a nice kick from the red pepper, and has that classic, but subtle smokey BBQ flavor. Trevor and I like spicy and we thought it was perfect, so keep that in mindΒ if you’re not a spicy person!
2. The beef. I used flank steak and it was steak perfection. All we did was marinade the beef for a few hours in the fridge, throw it on the grill untilΒ it was medium rare, let it rest for a few minutes (gotta keep those juices in!), and sliced itΒ reeeeeal thin. Yum. That alone, would’ve made me happy, but then we have…
3. The veggies. I used sugar snap peas – not traditional, but shocker, I couldn’t find snow peas at the store – carrots, and my favorite, mushrooms. Trevor said he could’ve used more veggies, but you guys know by now that I’m a serious carboholic and was more focused on…
4. The noodles. Spaghetti wasΒ seriously perfect for this easy beef lo mein. I hadΒ absolutely no complaints here!
5. #thatsaucetho. a store-boughtΒ beef marinade combined with a little sugar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of SrirachaΒ made for a ridiculously flavorful sauce that I could’ve slurped up with a straw.
This easy beef lo mein is a great combination of tender noodles, crunchy veggies, melt in your mouth beef, and smothered in a slightly smokey, spicy, salty, savory, flavor explosion in your mouth sauce. I’m honestly drooling and debating whether I should go to the asian market grocery store right now to make this again for dinner.
Doooo it!
