Beef Lo Mein

Thanks for visiting Spice the Plate, today I am going to share the recipe of a mind-blowing Beef Lo Mein recipe. It’s full of flavor and WAY better than the Beef Lo Mein sold at the restaurants. Enough talking, let jump right into it.

Beef Lo Mein Raw Ingredients The ingredients for this dish are very simple. Based on the name of the dish, I am sure you already figured out the two main ingredients, beef and Lo Mein noodles. Besides that, we only need garlic, onion, red and green pepper. That simple!

Beef Lo Mein-3 There are three things we need to do before cooking starts. These preparation work will help ensure the flavor of the dish and make the cooking process later stress-free.

The three things are: 1) marinate the beef 2) cook the Lo Mein noodles following the directions on the package and 3) make the sauce for seasoning.

Beef Lo Mein-7 Here is the order when to use each ingredient when cooking, it’s very simple:

Cook the beef and set aside.
Sauté the onion until browned and throw in the pepper and garlic, cook until they are soft.
Add the beef back into the pan and cook for about 1 minute (this could make sure the beef is tender and not overcooked).
Toss in the noodle and sauce, stir-fry under high heat for a couple of minutes and sprinkle with black pepper (It is very hard to cook noodle with a spatula without breaking the noodles, I recommend using a long chopsticks to stir fry the noodle. It could make your cooking much easier and more importantly, help the seasoning distribute evenly and well absorbed by the ingredients).

And now, it’s time to enjoy!

Below is how I made this dish step-by-step. The total time needed is about less than 30 minutes! How to make Beef Lo Mein I hope you enjoy making this super flavorful beef lo mein at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
