Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the noodles
Cook the chow mein noodles according to package directions. Drain well and toss lightly with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Sear the beef
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Cook the vegetables
In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Stir fry the onion, carrots, and broccoli for 3–4 minutes until just tender.
Combine everything
Return the beef to the pan along with the cooked noodles. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve
Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
