Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this flavor-packed masterpiece:

• For the Steak and Shrimp:
  • 8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
• For the Noodles:
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or any preferred noodles)
• For the Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• For the Veggies:
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 green onions, chopped
• Garnishes:
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Steps to Deliciousness

1. Cook the Noodles. Start off by cooking your lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once they’re al dente (you want them to have a little bite), drain and set aside. Go ahead and give yourself a little pat on the back—you’ve made it this far!

2. Prepare the Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. You can make this ahead if you want, but honestly, I just mix it right before cooking because let’s face it: we’re all about saving time!

3. Sear the Steak. Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced flank steak in a single layer. Let it sear for about 1-2 minutes until it’s nicely browned. Don’t crowd the pan; work in batches if needed. You want to get that beautiful color for all the flavor!

4. Add the Shrimp. Toss in the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re pink and opaque. Feel free to do a little happy dance while you cook—the aroma alone is worth it!

5. Toss in the Veggies. Next up, throw in the bell peppers and snow peas. Stir-fry everything for an additional 2-3 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp. Nothing like a pop of color to brighten your plate!

6. Add the Noodles and Sauce. Now it’s time to add those cooked noodles and the sauce you whipped up earlier. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the noodles well. Cook for another minute until everything is heated through. Oh, and don’t forget to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom—those are where the flavor hides!

7. Garnish and Serve. Remove from heat, plate, and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired. And voilà!—a dinner dish that looks and smells incredible!

Cooking Tips

• Don’t Overcook the Shrimp! If you’re not sure when it’s done, remember: shrimp cooks quickly and when it’s done, it curls up beautifully. Overcooked shrimp turns into rubber—no thanks!

• Make it Your Own! You can add any veggies you like such as broccoli, carrots, or bok choy. This is your canvas; go wild!

• Stir-Fry Skills! The secret to a great stir-fry is high heat and quick cooking. Keep everything moving in the pan; it helps marry those flavors beautifully.
