For the Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
Marinate the Beef:
- In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Cook the Noodles:
- Boil the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Stir-Fry the Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic, carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked noodles and beef back to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Finish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions, give it one last toss, and serve hot!
