Ingredients for Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

• 8 oz sirloin steak, thinly sliced

• 12 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 10 oz egg noodles or ramen noodles

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

• ½ cup soy sauce

• Optional: 2 tablespoons butter, chopped green onions for garnish, crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles

First, prepare your noodles according to the package instructions. Whether you’re using egg noodles or ramen, cook them just until tender. Drain and set aside.

Pro Tip: Toss the drained noodles with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking if you’re prepping ahead.

2. Sear the Steak

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and sear for about 2–3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

Note: For maximum tenderness, slice the steak against the grain.

3. Cook the Shrimp

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove and set aside with the steak.

4. Stir-Fry the Veggies and Garlic

Add a bit of butter to the pan (optional, but highly recommended for richness!). Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant — be careful not to burn it. Then add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still vibrant.

5. Combine Everything

Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the ½ cup of soy sauce. Stir everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 1–2 minutes.

Optional: Toss in some crushed red pepper flakes if you love a little spicy kick!

6. Garnish and Serve

Finish by garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if you like. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes, Tips, and Tricks

• Noodle Options: Egg noodles are authentic and chewy, but ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet) work beautifully too.

• Add More Veggies: Feel free to toss in snow peas, broccoli florets, shredded carrots, or mushrooms for extra color and nutrition.

• Make It Spicier: Add a teaspoon of Sriracha or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.

• Use Fresh Garlic: It makes a big difference in flavor compared to pre-minced garlic.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Storage:
Place cooled leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Reheating:
Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce to refresh the noodles. You can also microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

Freezing:
While not ideal due to the noodles and shrimp, you can freeze this dish for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Food and Drink Pairings

Drinks:
Pair your Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp Noodles with a crisp white wine like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, iced jasmine tea or a citrusy lemonade would be refreshing.

Sides:
A side of crispy spring rolls, a light cucumber salad, or some steamed dumplings would complement this meal perfectly.

FAQ

Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes! Just thaw them completely and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess water in the pan.

What if I don’t have sirloin?
Flank steak, ribeye, or even thinly sliced chicken breast can be used instead.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?
Definitely! Use gluten-free soy sauce (like tamari) and rice noodles instead of egg or ramen noodles.

Can I meal prep this dish?
Yes! Prepare the steak, shrimp, and veggies ahead of time, and stir-fry them fresh when you’re ready to eat for the best texture.

How spicy is this dish?
Without the optional crushed red pepper, it’s very mild. Spice it up as much as you like!
