Hi Everyone and happy midweek to you!

This dish sounds delicious and take into consideration that I haven't tried it. I would make some alterations to it though: Here is my mental list.

Although sesame oil would be the traditional oil to use in Thai cooking, I would probably use olive oil because I have it in the house. If fresh ginger and garlic are available, they could be grated and used instead of the jarred versions. Flank steak could be substituted for sirloin tips. I would omit the oyster sauce and just use teriyaki. If using oyster sauce, the teriyaki sauce can be substituted with soya sauce. Enjoy!

Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

8 oz. thin spaghetti, broken in half
1 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 cups chopped broccoli
1-1/2 cups sliced onion
1 tbsp. minced jarred ginger
2 tsp. minced jarred garlic
12 oz. sirloin tips, cut crosswise into thin strips
3 tbsp. beef broth
3 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. oyster sauce (optional)

1. Stir the spaghetti into a pot of lightly salted boiling water and cook it according to the package directions. Drain the noodles well, then return them to the pot and toss them with the sesame oil.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the ginger and garlic and continue stirring while the mixture cooks for another 30 seconds. Add the steak and cook it, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink.

3. In a small bowl, mix the broth, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and oyster sauce. Add the teriyaki sauce mixture and the pasta to the skillet and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, or until everything is heated through. Serve the lo mein hot. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
