Quick Beef lo Mein

Disclaimer: I got this off a blog/internet but didn't document from where. I've made it a lot and really like it.

3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 Tablespoon Chili Paste with Garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed Red Pepper Flakes
4 Cups cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti noodles
2 teaspoons Dark Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon fresh Ginger, peeled and minced
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 Cups frozen Broccoli Florets
1 medium Onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 lb. Flank Steak, trimmed and cut across the grain into long, thin strips
thinly sliced Green onions to garnish
toasted Sesame Seeds to garnish

Directions
In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, chili paste and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Combine pasta and sesame oil, tossing well to coat.

While pasta cooks, heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, broccoli and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the steak and saute for 5 minutes or until done. Add pasta mixture and soy sauce mixture and cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.

Serve garnished with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

I don't use Chili Paste or Red Pepper Flakes because I don't like spicy food.

This looks similar to Rachael Ray's recipe. It is in one of her 30 minute meal cookbooks. I will have to compare!
