Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Stir-fry noodles (lo mein, yakisoba, or rice noodles)
Garlic, minced
Ginger, grated
Soy sauce
Oyster sauce
Sesame oil
Brown sugar
Cornstarch (for coating the steak)
Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Green onions, sliced (optional)
Mixed vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas (optional)

Directions

I cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
I toss the sliced steak in a little cornstarch, soy sauce, and a splash of sesame oil for a quick marinade.
I heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat and sear the steak for 1–2 minutes until browned, then remove it and set aside.
In the same pan, I add more oil and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 1–2 minutes per side. I remove them and set aside with the steak.
I sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the vegetables and cook until just tender.
I return the steak and shrimp to the pan, toss in the noodles, and pour over a sauce made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and a touch of sesame oil.
I stir-fry everything for a few minutes until heated through and well coated.
I garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Variations

I switch things up by using chicken instead of steak or tofu for a vegetarian version. Sometimes I add chili garlic sauce or sriracha for extra heat. If I’m using rice noodles, I soak them in hot water instead of boiling. For a lower-carb option, I stir-fry everything with spiralized zucchini or cabbage instead of noodles.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I toss the noodles in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce to bring back the moisture. The microwave works too — I just cover the dish and stir halfway through.

FAQs

What kind of steak works best?

I like flank or sirloin for quick cooking and tenderness. I always slice it thin against the grain so it stays tender.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes, I thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking so they sear instead of steam.

Do I need a wok?

No, I use a large skillet or nonstick pan and it works just fine. The key is high heat and cooking in batches if needed.

What vegetables work best in this stir-fry?

I usually use bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, or broccoli — whatever I have in the fridge works.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes, I mix the sauce ingredients in a jar and store it in the fridge for up to a week. It saves time when I’m cooking in a hurry.

This Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles recipe is everything I want in a weeknight dinner — quick, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.
