Lo mein comin’ in CLUTCH for the single-handedly most despised day of the week to cook dinner. 

Why not save on dishes too and just attack this entire pan? God bless Mondays. ??

THIS steak lo mein right here is what take-out dreams are made of. Minus the take-out and about a fraction of the cost + TONS of leftovers!

As much as I would like to just run down to the sweet little Chinese restaurant right below my apartment and get their bomb lo mein EVERY night….I just can’t bring myself to do it, guys.

I CAN, however, certainly bring myself to a) make a huge batch of this restaurant-style lo mein b) eat it every night throughout the week with zero guilt.

Lo mein at home is a BREEZE to make and one of the best parts is that you don’t even need to follow the recipe to a T as far as noodles + add-ins. Don’t like peppers? Leave ’em out and sub in another veggie! Don’t have lo mein noodles in the pantry? Regular leftover cooked noodles work just fine here.

Basically, all we’re doing here is a) pan-frying steak strips b) sauteeing up a mess of fresh veggies c) making a quick, zippy stir-fry sauce d) throwing a mess of noodles + a handful of green onions into the pan. HELLO DINNER BLISS!!

Trust me, you will NOT mind how much freaking lo mein this batch makes. The leftovers keep for a few days and reheat like a dream.

^^ In the event, of course, that you don’t eat it all immediately. Which sounds ridiculous, I know, but TRUST ME, it’s a valid concern. ??
