I just mixed familiar Asian flavors together to make this oh-so-simple dish. Sometimes simplicity makes the best dishes. This is fast dinner to whip up any night to break the normal dish routine.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
• ¼ white onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons chile sauce (Optional)
• ½ pound thinly-cut flat iron steaks
• 6 ounces dried chow mein noodles

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, red wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, honey, chile sauce, and black pepper together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Brush marinade onto steak strips and broccoli, reserving some for the noodles. Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook chow mein noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Heat oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion for 3 minutes. Add garlic and beef-broccoli mixture; cook and stir until beef is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add noodles and reserved marinade; toss using tongs and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
