Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 8 oz thinly sliced sirloin beef
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Noodles
- 8 oz lo mein noodles
Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (natural)
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Cooking Oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (natural) for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and ginger finely. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (natural), sesame oil (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth to create a flavorful sauce.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil (natural) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook quickly until browned but still tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside to avoid overcooking.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they become crisp-tender and bright green.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef and noodles to the skillet with broccoli. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything gently and thoroughly to coat noodles and vegetables evenly with the savory glaze.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest texture and vibrant flavors.

- Do not overcook broccoli to maintain crispness and nutrient content.
