- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 lb flank steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 lb lo mein egg noodles (cooked)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 bag frozen mixed stir-fry vegetables
- salt (to taste)

Beef stir fry sauce
- 2 tbsp garlic ginger paste
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
First, season the flank steak with salt and pepper and toss with cornstarch and set aside.
Next, put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok on medium high heat. Cook the beef in small batches until browned, or about 3 minutes per side. Once browned, set aside.
Next, add your vegetables to the wok and cook for about 5 minutes with the remaining vegetable oil. Remove and set aside.
Now, make your sauce. Combine the sauce ingredients except for the corn starch in a bowl and mix well. Add the sauce to the wok and bring to a simmer. While the sauce reaches a simmer, combine the cornstarch with about 2-3 tablespoons of water and then slowly whisk into the sauce. Allow to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables and beef back to the wok and cook until fully heated through. Serve over egg noodles.
