    It doesn’t get much easier than this when it comes to getting dinner on the table in a hurry.  This lo mein also re-heats well for leftovers… a win-win situation!

    If you begin heating the water for the noodles as soon as you start the prep work, they should be done right around the same time as the beef and broccoli mixture.

    I use whole grain spaghetti noodles because most times I can’t find lo mein noodles at my local grocery store.  You can use regular spaghetti noodles as well, but the whole grain noodles have a firmer texture that is similar to lo mein noodles.

    Helpful hint for slicing the beef:

    Place thawed beef in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before slicing so it will firm up a bit… this makes it so much easier to slice!
