Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

I got this recipe from Jaime, and Chad and I love its flavor and simplicity. It's not advertised as "healthy" but it's actually quite healthful, especially if you use lean trimmed beef, and pasta made with whole grain or extra fiber. I used New York Strip Steaks, but you could use whatever cut of beef you have. It's especially good if you slice it ahead of time, and marinate it in soy sauce, a little oil, and a dash of onion and garlic powder for at least an hour.
Ingredients
8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil (I subbed vegetable oil)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 1/2 cups sliced onion
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces sirloin tips, cut crosswise into thin strips
6 tablespoons beef broth
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon oyster sauce (I didn't have this, and it still tasted good)
Instructions
1) Stir the spaghetti into a pot of lightly salted boiling water and cook it according to the package directions. Drain the noodles well, then return them to the pot and toss them 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 sirloin 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 to 2 minutes or until everything is heated through. Serve the lo mein hot. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
