  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

For the Lo Mein:  

  • 8 ounces lo mein or spaghetti noodles cooked according to package directions and drained

  • Season beef strips with salt and pepper.  Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat.  Add beef strips and cook 5 to 6 minutes (stirring frequently), or until done and no longer pink.  Remove beef from skillet with tongs or a slotted spoon (leave juices in pan) and place on a plate.  Set aside.
  • Add broccoli, carrots and red peppers to the same skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes (stirring frequently), or until tender.
  • Return cooked beef to skillet.  Stir in cooked noodles and sauce to evenly coat.  Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving, if desired.
