Steak and shrimp stir fry noodles are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that bring together the best of land and sea. This dish is inspired by Asian cuisine, where stir-frying is a popular method for creating quick and flavorful meals. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something delicious but don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. The combination of tender steak, succulent shrimp, and vibrant vegetables tossed with saucy noodles makes it a crowd-pleaser. Plus, it’s a great way to impress your family or guests with minimal effort.
This stir fry is quite the star on its own, but if you’re looking to round out the meal, consider serving it with a side of steamed jasmine rice or a simple green salad. A crisp cucumber salad with a light vinaigrette can also complement the rich flavors of the stir fry. For a touch of freshness, you might want to add some sliced green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.

Ingredients
8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz rice noodles
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside with the steak.

Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet, and add the cooked noodles.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Pour over the noodle mixture.
Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Drizzle with sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha to the sauce mix. You can swap the flank steak for chicken or tofu for a different protein option. Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand, such as snap peas, carrots, or mushrooms. If you prefer a gluten-free version, ensure you use gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce. For meal prep, you can slice the steak and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
