Recipe Summary Best Beef Chow Mein

From my experience many of the recipes I have found for chow mein and lo mein seem to be either dry or very bland. I have been working at this one and my family has decided that this is the one and I will never have to order out again.

Ingredients | Vegetable Lo Mein Ingredients

6 cups water

14 ounces chow mein noodles (such as Golden Dragon®)

1 pound flank steak, cut into thin strips

6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

¼ cup soy sauce, divided

3 tablespoons cornstarch

6 cloves garlic, crushed, divided

1 cup water

1 (1.5 ounce) package chow mein sauce mix (such as Su Wong®)

2 tablespoons teriyaki glaze

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, or more to taste

¼ cup peanut oil, divided

1 onion, chopped

2 carrots, sliced

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 cup broccoli florets

2 stalks celery, sliced

8 ounces bean sprouts

12 fresh shrimp (Optional)

1 ½ cups chopped bok choy

ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook chow mein noodles until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water.

Mix flank steak, teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, and 2 cloves garlic together in a small bowl.

Mix remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 cloves garlic, 1 cup water, chow mein sauce mix, teriyaki glaze, and sriracha sauce in a separate bowl to make sauce.

Preheat a wok over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add steak and onion; cook and stir until beef is brown and onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Pour remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil into the wok. Add carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and celery; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.

Return steak and onion mixture to the wok. Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts, shrimp, bok choy; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are heated through and shrimp are opaque, about 4 minutes. Season with pepper.

This dish can be ruined quickly with too much sriracha sauce, but I wouldn't leave it out.

Substitute vegetable oil for the peanut oil if desired.
