How to Make Ground Beef Chow Mein
- Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup bean sprouts, 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced), 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 1/2 cups beef broth, 1/4 cup chopped pimientos, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the beef mixture, stirring constantly.
- Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened and become bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Serve immediately over 8 oz of cooked chow mein noodles or cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
