3 Tbsp beef broth
3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp oyster sauce

Heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over med high heat. Add broccoli and onion and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and continue stirring while mixture cooks for another 30 seconds. Add sirloin and cook, stirring often, for 5 mins or until it is no longer pink.

Serve lo mein hot.

*Also very good with chicken! You will need to add it sooner than the beef though as chicken takes longer to cook and must cook all the way through. If cooking with chicken, use 3 Tbsp chicken broth instead of beef.
