Beef Lo Mein

Ingredients:
8 Ounces of think spaghetti broken in half
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ cups boiled water
1 Tbsp Beef Better Than Bullion
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Oil for frying
1 pound beef
2 Large Carrots
2 cups broccoli
1 large onion

Cook Time: 45 Min

Directions:
Boil the spaghetti as directed on package. Into hot, boiled water add Better Than Bullion and brown sugar; stir to dissolve. Into the mixture, add soy sauce and set aside. Using a hot skillet, brown both sides of the beef. Let beef cool and slice it into two inch pieces. Add sliced beef into the same skillet, fry until completely cooked. Into the cooked beef, add sauce mixture, cook all together for about a minute, set aside. Dice carrots, broccoli and onion into two inch pieces. Using the skillet, where you've cooked beef, sautee onions until golden brown. Remove from the heat. In a separate oiled skillet, sautee carrots until softened, add broccoli and cook for about three minutes. In a large dish, combine spaghetti, vegetables and beef, together. Toss to combine, serve hot.


My Comments:
­­­Spencer and I loved this recipe however there were a few tweaks we will do next time. We thought it was too salty.  I'm probably going to add more brown sugar than it called for. Also the sauce was very watery. I will probably add some cornstarch to the sauce to make it thicker.  The meet was pretty good however we would like to marinate it overnight in the fridge. Overall, I would definitely make this recipe again!
