- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice beef into thin strips. Wash and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), brown sugar (natural), and natural gelling agent until well combined.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil (natural) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and cook until browned but still tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli and Aromatics: In the same skillet, add remaining sesame oil (natural) if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger (natural), sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine and Toss: Return cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Add drained lo mein noodles and gently toss to coat noodles evenly with sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped scallions over the dish. Serve the Beef And Broccoli Lo Mein hot and enjoy.
