Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

My family loves this recipe. I got it from familyfun.com.

8 oz. spaghetti
1 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 c. (I use more) chopped broccoli
1 1/2 c. sliced onion
1 Tbsp. minced peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 oz. sirloin tips, cut crosswise into thin strips (or any kind of tender beef)
3 Tbsp. beef broth
3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce (I did not use this because I couldn't find it, and it still tasted great)

1. Stir the spaghetti into a pot of lightly salted boiling water and cook according to package. Drain noodles well, then return them to the pot and toss then 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, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and continue stirring while the mixture cooks for another 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook it, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until it is no longer pink.

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