How to Make Steak and Shrimp Stir-Fry with Noodles
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 lb (225g) steak, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 lb (225g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 8 oz (225g) stir-fry noodles or spaghetti, cooked and drained
Directions:
- Marinate the Steak and Shrimp: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and honey. Divide the marinade in half: toss half with the steak and half with the shrimp. Set aside for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the Stir-Fry: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Prepare the Noodles: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked steak and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and heat through. Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Pro Tip: For extra flavor, drizzle with chili oil or a squeeze of lime before serving!
