Garlic Butter Steak & Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Noodles:
Boil noodles according to package instructions until just tender (al dente). Drain, rinse with cool water, and toss with a little oil to keep them from sticking. Set aside.
2️⃣ Sear the Steak:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes until browned, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté the Shrimp:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside with the steak.
4️⃣ Stir-Fry the Veggies:
Add garlic and sliced bell peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
5️⃣ Make the Sauce:
Lower heat slightly and add butter, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and black pepper. Stir until butter melts and everything is combined.
6️⃣ Bring It All Together:
Return steak and shrimp to the pan. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together until coated in the garlicky butter sauce. Drizzle with sesame oil for an extra flavor boost.
7️⃣ Serve It Up:
Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Grab your chopsticks—or a fork—and dig in!

FAQ About This Stir-Fry:
Can I use different noodles?
Yes! Udon, lo mein, or rice noodles all work beautifully.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can prep everything (slice meat, peel shrimp, cook noodles) ahead to speed things up.

Definitely—broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, or even spinach make great additions.
Common Problems and Fixes:
- Meat too tough?
Make sure to slice steak against the grain and don’t overcook. - Noodles sticking together?
Toss them in a little oil after cooking to prevent clumping. - Too salty?
Use low-sodium soy sauce or dilute the sauce with a splash of water or broth.
