Ingredients
Scale
- For the Stir-Fry:
- 8 oz (225g) thin-cut steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye)
- 8 oz (225g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz (225g) stir-fry noodles (egg noodles or rice noodles work well)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- For the Stir-Fry Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or mushroom soy sauce for a vegetarian version)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by prepping all your ingredients before you begin cooking. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, making sure to remove any excess fat.
- For the shrimp, simply peel and devein if you haven’t already. Set both the steak and shrimp aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the onion and bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and mince the garlic. Chop the green onions for garnish.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain them, and set them aside.
- Make the Stir-Fry Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. If you like it saltier, add a little more soy sauce, or if you prefer a bit of heat, throw in some red pepper flakes. This sauce is what gives the stir-fry its rich, savory depth, so take the time to perfect it!
- Cook the Steak
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak to the pan in a single layer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, undisturbed, to get a nice sear. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.
- Cook the Shrimp
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they’re pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them!
- Remove the shrimp and set them aside with the steak.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables
- In the same pan, add the onions, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine the Noodles, Steak, Shrimp, and Sauce
- Now it’s time to bring everything together! Add the cooked noodles to the pan, along with the steak and shrimp.
- Pour the stir-fry sauce over everything and toss to combine. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and let the sauce coat the noodles, steak, and shrimp evenly.
- Garnish and Serve
- Remove the stir-fry from the heat and garnish with the chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately, and don’t forget to enjoy that satisfying, savory goodness!
