Why I Love This Recipe
It’s everything I want on a busy weeknight: protein-packed, veggie-forward, and ready in under 30 minutes. The combo of juicy steak, plump shrimp, and slurpable noodles gives you that indulgent “restaurant-style” experience without the wait or the takeout bill.
The flavors are deep and rich thanks to a simple soy-oyster-sesame sauce that coats every bite in savory goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 cups cooked noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles work well)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Steak: Flank, ribeye, or even skirt steak work great—just slice against the grain for tenderness.
- Shrimp: Medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined, cook quickly and bring a nice texture contrast.
- Veggies: Add snow peas, broccoli florets, or mushrooms if you’d like to boost the veggie content.
- Noodles: Any stir-fry-friendly noodle works—try soba, lo mein, or even spaghetti in a pinch.
Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss with sliced steak and let marinate for 15–20 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
2️⃣ Cook the Garlic & Steak
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add steak slices and cook for 3–4 minutes, until browned. Remove from wok and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
In the same wok, add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until pink and just cooked. Remove and set aside with the steak.
4️⃣ Stir-Fry the Veggies
Add bell pepper and carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until just tender-crisp.
5️⃣ Combine and Toss
Add cooked noodles, steak, and shrimp back into the wok. Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 more minutes, just to heat through and coat in sauce.
6️⃣ Garnish and Serve
Transfer to serving bowls and top with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot!
Tips for Stir-Fry Success
✔️ High heat is key—use a wok or heavy-bottomed skillet to get that sear.
✔️ Prep everything before you start—stir-fries cook fast!
✔️ Slice ingredients evenly for quick, uniform cooking.
✔️ Don’t overcook the shrimp—they should just turn pink and curl.
