Looking for a dinner that’s bursting with flavor, loaded with protein, and packed with vibrant veggies? These Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles are your new go-to! This mouthwatering dish combines juicy slices of marinated steak, tender shrimp, colorful vegetables, and slurp-worthy rice noodles tossed in a rich, savory sauce.

It all started on a random Thursday night when I was staring into the fridge, desperate to make something exciting but easy. I tossed together what we had—some steak, shrimp, and leftover veggies—and hoped for the best. My husband took one bite and literally paused, gave me that wide-eyed “you’ve outdone yourself” look, and went back for seconds before finishing his first plate. Since then, it’s been our comfort meal, our celebration dinner, and our “just because we deserve something delicious” dish. Even the kids get excited when they see the noodles soaking—they know what’s coming!

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

Noodles:

  • 225g (1/2 lb) wide dried rice noodles, cooked per package directions

Steak Marinade:

  • 225g (1/2 lb) steak, thinly sliced against the grain

  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)

  • 1 tsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Shrimp & Veggies:

  • 8–10 medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed

  • 1.5 cups mixed vegetables (e.g. shaved Brussels sprouts, diced onions, bell peppers, carrots, chopped kale, broccoli florets)

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (plus more if needed)

  • A handful of green onions, cut into 1-inch segments

Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • 120ml (1/2 cup) chicken broth

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • Optional: chili crisps or chili oil, for a spicy kick

Directions:

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes to soak in the flavors.

  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Stir until well mixed, then set aside.

  3. Cook the Steak: Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 1 minute per side, or until browned but still juicy. Remove it from the pan and set aside.

  4. Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, or until they’ve softened and slightly caramelized.

  5. Add the Shrimp: Drop in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and curl into a C shape, about 2–3 minutes.

  6. Bring It All Together: Add the sauce to the pan and let it simmer for a minute until it starts to thicken. Return the cooked steak and add the noodles. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

  7. Finishing Touch: Stir in the green onions right before serving for a pop of freshness.

Notes:

  • Noodle Swap: If you can’t find wide rice noodles, use lo mein, udon, or even spaghetti in a pinch.

  • Veggie Flexibility: Feel free to use whatever vegetables are in your fridge—snap peas, mushrooms, or spinach all work beautifully.

  • Make it Spicy: Love heat? Add chili crisps or drizzle some sriracha on top.

  • Protein Options: You can use chicken or tofu in place of steak and shrimp for a different twist.

  • Meal Prep Tip: Chop all your veggies and marinate your steak ahead of time to cut down on cooking time during the week.
