Beef Broccoli Lo Mein

So, after all the sweet things I posted, I thought I'd post something healthy!  I originally got this recipe from Cooking Light and I've been making it for years now! The whole family loves it and it's super fast to make.  I used frozen broccoli florets and just made sure not to overcook them.  In fact, after cooking the onions and broccoli, I removed them to a plate, cooked the meat in a little of the sauce (I mixed the last 4 ingredients together in a cup), then added the broccoli and onions back in.  I hope that made sense. If not, just follow the recipe as written! Oh! Also, I prefer it when I cut the meat super thin. Much thinner than in my picture.:) 


Beef Broccoli Lo-Mein


4 cups hot cooked spaghetti (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 1/2 cups vertically sliced onion
1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed and cut across the grain into long, thin strips
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon chile paste with garlic

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain. Combine pasta and sesame oil, tossing well to coat.
While pasta cooks, heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add broccoli and onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add steak, and sauté 5 minutes or until done. Add pasta mixture, soy sauce, and remaining ingredients; cook 1 minute or until lo mein is thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.
