Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to create your steak shrimp noodles masterpiece:

• For the noodles:
  • 8 oz. of your favorite noodles (we recommend udon or rice noodles)
• For the protein:
  • 1 lb. sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
• For the sauce:
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
• For the veggies:
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Optional: broccoli florets for extra greens

Directions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to transform your kitchen into a gourmet restaurant.

1. Cook the noodles: Start by boiling water in a pot. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Once done, drain them and set aside.
2. Prep the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. This is where the magic happens—trust me, your kitchen will smell divine!
3. Sear the steak: In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a bit of oil (like vegetable or canola) and sear the steak slices for about 2-3 minutes until they develop a lovely brown crust. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, toss in the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink. You won’t believe how quickly this dish is coming together!
5. Veggie time: Add your bell pepper, carrot, and any other veggies you want to throw in. Stir-fry them for about 2 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
6. Combine everything: Toss the cooked noodles, seared steak, shrimp, and sauce into the skillet. Give it all a good stir to ensure everything is beautifully coated. Cook for another 2 minutes to let those flavors meld together.
7. Garnish: Top with green onions and serve this beauty hot. Voilà—dinner is served!

Cooking Tips

• Don’t skip marinating: If you have a bit more time, consider letting your sliced steak marinate in a bit of the sauce while you prep the rest. It deepens the flavors!
• Picky eaters: If you’re facing a family of selective diners, feel free to swap out the protein (chicken works too!) or the veggies based on your crew’s preferences. It’s a versatile dish that adapts like a chameleon!
