How to Make Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Step 1: Marinate the Steak

Begin this flavor journey by tossing your sliced flank steak with cornstarch, a tablespoon of soy sauce, and a good pinch of salt. Set it aside for about 10 minutes. This quick marinade not only infuses the beef with salty savoriness but also helps it stay gloriously tender and juicy when cooked.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce

While your steak is marinating, combine the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir it all up and keep it handy. This is your secret weapon—a sauce that will cling to every noodle and make the whole dish sing.

Step 3: Sear the Steak

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a good-sized skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer, letting each piece sizzle until it browns (about 2 to 3 minutes). Don’t overcrowd the pan! Once the steak is nicely cooked, remove it and set aside—it’ll make a grand return soon.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and drop in the shrimp. They only need a couple of minutes to turn pink and just barely opaque. Keep an eye on them; overcooked shrimp can get rubbery.

Step 5: Stir-Fry Garlic, Ginger, and Veggies

Pour in your last tablespoon of oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir for just 30 seconds so they turn fragrant without burning. Next, add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes. You want the veggies to be bright and tender-crisp—still sporting a little crunch in every bite.

Step 6: Combine Everything

It’s time for Noodle Nirvana! Return the browned steak and cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with your cooked noodles. Pour the sauce you mixed earlier over the top. Toss everything together so each noodle gets a glossy coat of flavor, every veggie stays bright, and the steak and shrimp are perfectly nestled in the mix. Finish by stirring in those sliced green onions for a final fresh bite.

How to Serve Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Garnishes

Sprinkle extra sliced green onions, a handful of toasted sesame seeds, or even chopped cilantro on top for eye-catching freshness. For some heat, a little drizzle of sriracha or scatter of red pepper flakes is always welcome.

Side Dishes

This decadent bowl is truly a meal in itself, but it pairs beautifully with a simple cucumber salad, steamed edamame, or crisp spring rolls. An ice-cold glass of iced tea or a light, citrusy beer would be equally at home next to Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles.

Creative Ways to Present

For a playful twist, serve the noodles in small bowls as part of a DIY noodle bar or tuck them inside lettuce wraps for a fun, hands-on dinner. You can also plate the dish family-style on a striking platter so everyone can serve themselves.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Cool any leftovers completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days, and the flavors get even better as they meld.

Freezing

For the best texture, freeze only if necessary. The noodles and shrimp can change texture slightly, but if you do need to freeze, portion into airtight containers and freeze for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating

Gently reheat Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles in a hot skillet with a dash of water or broth, tossing frequently until everything is hot and revived. Microwaving works too, but the skillet helps keep the veggies and noodles from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I use chicken instead of steak in Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles?

Absolutely! Chicken is a wonderful substitute—just slice it thinly and cook it the same way. It will bring a slightly different flavor, but the results are just as satisfying and delicious.

What noodles work best for this recipe?

Egg noodles or lo mein noodles are classic, but you can use rice noodles for a gluten-free option or even spaghetti in a pinch. The key is to use noodles with enough body to stand up to stir-frying and tossing with sauce.

How spicy are these noodles?

The recipe is quite mild, making it family-friendly. If you like a bit of heat, add chili flakes, sriracha, or even thin slices of fresh chili when stirring in the veggies or as a garnish.

Can I make Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles ahead of time?

You can prep most of the ingredients in advance—slice the steak and veggies, whisk the sauce, and cook the noodles. Assemble everything and stir-fry just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What’s the best way to keep noodles from sticking together?

Toss the cooked noodles with a splash of oil if you’re prepping ahead of time. When you add them to the stir-fry, make sure your pan is hot and you keep the noodles moving. That way, they’ll stay separated and deliciously coated in sauce.

Final Thoughts

If you’re craving a homemade dinner that’s bursting with flavor and comes together in a flash, give Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles a spot on your table. It’s as rewarding to cook as it is to eat—once you taste your first bite, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this delicious classic!
