Ingredients for Beef And Cabbage Lo Mein

  • Lean Beef
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Water
  • Cornstarch
  • Red Wine
  • Minced Garlic Cloves
  • Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
  • Onion
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Fresh Mushrooms
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
  • Green Onion

How to Make Beef And Cabbage Lo Mein

  1. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add sliced beef to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for at least 5 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Cook fettuccine according to package directions, but reduce cooking time by about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  6. Add the julienned carrots and sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Add the remaining minced garlic and stir-fry for another minute.
  8. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to combine with the beef and vegetables.
  9. Pour the marinade over the lo mein, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
