Quick Facts

  • Yield: Serves 4
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

  • 8 oz steak (ribeye or sirloin), thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz rice noodles or egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red or yellow), thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce / Garnish:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by cooking your noodles according to package instructions until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside—this keeps them from getting mushy later!

Step 2:

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Adjust the sweetness or saltiness here if you like it a bit more punchy.

Step 3:

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add the thinly sliced steak seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear it quickly for about 2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy inside. Remove and set aside.

Step 4:

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant—this aroma is the real start of magic.

Step 5:

Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and curl up nicely. Toss in your sliced bell peppers and snap peas, stir-frying until just tender-crisp and full of vibrant color.

Step 6:

Return the steak to the pan, then add the cooked noodles and pour over the sauce. Toss everything together over medium heat to coat well, heating through. Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

Variations & Tips

  • Swap shrimp for scallops or chicken if you prefer.
  • Use rice vermicelli for a lighter noodle option.
  • For extra veggies, toss in shredded carrots or baby bok choy.
  • Don’t skip rinsing noodles — it helps loosen them up for better stir-frying.
  • Adjust soy and oyster sauce amounts based on your salt preferences.
  • Add fresh lime juice or chopped cilantro for a bright finish.

How I Like to Serve It

This stir-fry is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner but also shines for casual dinner parties when paired with a simple crisp salad and cold beer or chilled white wine. On chilly nights, it’s the kind of dish that fills the kitchen with cozy smells and warms you right up. Summer BBQ leftovers? You bet—this recipe is fab tossed with any leftover grilled steak and shrimp, too!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; gently reheat on the stovetop to keep noodles from sticking.
  • If you don’t have oyster sauce, add a little extra hoisin sauce or soy sauce with a dash of fish sauce for depth.

Closing: This Surf & Turf Noodle Stir-Fry is one of those rare dishes that effortlessly blends comforting home flavors with a touch of restaurant flair every single time.
