Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 ounces lo mein or spaghetti noodles
Protein & Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, sliced
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the lo mein or spaghetti noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain them well and set aside to keep warm.
- Sear Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until the exterior is browned but the inside remains tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Then add the shrimp and sauté for about 2 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the steak.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry these vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they are crisp-tender, releasing their flavors without getting soggy.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
- Toss Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss thoroughly to coat every strand and piece evenly with the savory sauce.
- Combine Protein and Heat Through: Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 2 minutes until the steak and shrimp are heated through and all the flavors meld beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve this flavorful garlic butter steak and shrimp stir-fried noodle dish hot for a satisfying meal.

- Ensure not to overcook steak or shrimp to keep them tender.
