Thinly slice flank steak against the grain on an angle into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Tip: To thinly slice beef, freeze beef for 60 minutes uncovered and then cut with a sharp knife.
Transfer sliced beef to a large bowl. Add beef marinade ingredients as listed and mix into beef. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
In a small bowl, combine the noodle sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
In a large wok or pot filled with enough water, bring to a boil. Blanch fresh egg noodles in boiling hot water until loosened, about 20 to 30 seconds.
Strain noodles and rinse them under cold running water. Strain out any excess water. Set aside.

What other cuts of meat can I use instead of flank steak?
Another cut of beef you may use includes Skirt steak, flat iron steak, flap steak or aka sirloin tri steak, tri-tip steak, and hanger steak.
New York strip steak may work but remove any thick pieces of fat or it will make the beef chewy.Â

I love this recipe! I don't marinade the beef, and sometimes I use pork or chicken and the sauce is so good that it all just works. I use all regular soy sauce. My son has some texture issues so I grate the garlic and let it sit for awhile in the sauce and then strain it out. The flavor is amazing! Everyone in the family loves it! Thank you so much!
I bought a package of lo mein noodles and then realized I had no idea how to make a lo mein dish! So I found your Beef Lo Mein recipe on TikTok, came here for the details and made it for dinner. The family loved it and I’ll keep it in the recipe book. And thanks for the tip on freezing the beef to make slicing easier!
2-6-25 : I made this again but subbed boneless skinless chicken thighs. The marinade basically "velvets" the chicken and it is so delicious! Having made this twice now with two different proteins, I think I prefer the chicken! Yum!
Excellent!!! Yesterday a friend send me this recipe she's craving noodles so i cook it today and she really like your beef lo mein. I used olive oil instead of neutral oil and for the noodles i used brown spaghetti pasta, for regular soy sauce i used low sodium soy sauce. Its amazing taste and she likes it! Thank for your recipe!

So good! Actually, all your recipes are gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing them!
Another EXCELLENT recipe Christie!!!! This was so delicious! Better than take out! Nailed it with flavor! I used purple cabbage because that's what I had on hand. I also increased the garlic because I love garlic. 10 out of 10! 100% recommend this recipe!
