In a medium bowl, combine the cut steak pieces with 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat the steak evenly. Let the steak marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
⏱️ 15 min - 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the 12 ounces of lo mein noodles and cook according to package directions, typically 5-7 minutes, until they are al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
⏱️ 7 min - 3
While the noodles are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for tenderness). Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate to rest.

Using the same skillet, add the 2 cups of broccoli florets, 2 julienned carrots, and 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Then, add the 1 cup of snow peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
⏱️ 7 min - 5
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the dressing is too thick, you may add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water or reserved noodle cooking water to thin it to your desired consistency.
⏱️ 5 min - 6
Return the cooked noodles and cooked steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared peanut sesame dressing over the entire mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat to heat through.
