When I first made this stir-fried noodle dish with steak and shrimp, I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I was just hungry, short on time, and staring at a fridge that had leftover cube steak and a bag of frozen shrimp. What came out of that slightly chaotic experiment was something so satisfying, it quickly became one of my weeknight go-tos. This is the kind of dinner that makes you feel like you’ve won the lottery of flavor, without even stepping foot into a restaurant. You get juicy seared steak—yep, we’re talking fried cube steak levels of satisfaction—and tender shrimp, all tossed into a hot wok with chewy noodles and a quick, savory sauce. And no, it’s not overly complicated. This isn’t the dish that sends you running for a spice you’ll never use again. If you love Cube Steak Recipes Easy, or you’re into Beef Cube Steak Recipes, this is a fun twist. Maybe you usually make Cube Steak Crock Pot Recipes, or lean more toward a hearty Country Fried Steak And Gravy—but I promise, this one’s worth the switch-up.

2) Easy Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles Recipe

When dinner needs to happen fast, this Fried Cube Steak stir-fry delivers. I’ve had evenings where time ran away and a full sit-down meal seemed impossible. This saved me. Everything happens in one pan, and it tastes like I meant to be that efficient all along.

There’s something about tossing noodles with savory beef and plump shrimp that makes you forget you’re still in your slippers. This isn’t a fancy takeout order, but it sure feels like one. I get the best kind of flavor payoff with very little effort. You don’t have to do much more than chop a few things and stir a sauce that practically builds itself.

If you’ve got a pack of cube steak hanging around and don’t know what to do with it, or if you’ve only used it in Cube Steak Crock Pot Recipes or old-school Country Fried Steak And Gravy, this might just be your new favorite. And yes, we’re using fried cube steak, not just as a gimmick, but because it works. Really well.

3) Ingredients for Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Cube Steak: Cut it into thin strips. It sears quickly and holds up well in a stir-fry. Fried cube steak in this mix turns out surprisingly tender and juicy.

Shrimp: Use peeled and deveined shrimp. I like the medium size. They cook fast and play well with the beef.

Stir-Fry Noodles: Any kind of lo mein, ramen, or yakisoba-style noodles work. Cook and drain them before adding.

Soy Sauce: This adds salty depth and color. Low sodium works fine too.

Hoisin Sauce: Sweet, sticky, and complex. It clings to the noodles beautifully.

Oyster Sauce: Adds umami richness. A little goes a long way.

Chili Garlic Sauce: Use for heat and brightness. Adjust to taste. Sriracha works as a sub.

Minced Garlic and Grated Ginger: These aromatics are a must. They punch up the base flavors.

Brown Sugar: Adds balance to the salty sauces.

Sesame Oil: Toasty and fragrant. Add it early to coat the pan.

Vegetable Oil: For stir-frying everything else.

Green Onions, Bell Pepper, and Carrots: They add crunch, color, and freshness. Feel free to toss in extras like snap peas or mushrooms.

4) How to Make Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Step 1. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and water. Keep it close by, you’ll need it soon.

Step 2. Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced fried cube steak and sear it until browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Scoop it out and set aside.

Step 3. Add shrimp to the same pan. Let them cook about 2 to 3 minutes until they curl and turn pink. Take them out and join them with the steak.

Step 4. If the pan looks dry, splash in some vegetable oil. Toss in the bell pepper, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry just until they soften a bit, around 2 minutes.

Step 5. Add your cooked noodles. Pour in that sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly. Let it sizzle for a minute.

Step 6. Return the steak and shrimp to the pan. Toss gently. Let the whole thing warm through for another minute or so.

Step 7. Plate it up. Sprinkle with extra green onions or sesame seeds if you’re feeling generous.

5) Tips for Making Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Don’t crowd the pan when you’re searing the beef. Fried cube steak loves space. Give it room to brown instead of steam.

Use fresh garlic and ginger. I’ve tried shortcuts, but nothing beats the smell when those hit a hot pan. That’s your signal you’re on the right track.

Use whatever noodles you have. I’ve even used spaghetti in a pinch. No one complained. Cube steak recipes easy don’t judge your pantry.

6) Making Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles Ahead of Time

Prepping in advance? Great idea. Slice the beef and stir the sauce ahead. You can even chop the veggies in the morning and store them in containers.

I usually cook the noodles fresh, but if you’re tight on time, cook them earlier and toss them with a little oil. That keeps them from sticking together in one clump.

Don’t combine everything until you’re ready to heat. The sauce thickens as it sits, and you want that glossy finish when it hits the pan. Fried cube steak doesn’t like being soggy.

7) Storing Leftover Steak And Shrimp Stir-Fried Noodles

Let it cool before you box it up. Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to three days. I try to eat it within two. It tastes best that way.

Reheat gently in a pan. Add a splash of water to loosen things up if it looks dry. Microwaving works too, but stir halfway through so it heats evenly.

Beef cube steak recipes don’t always reheat well, but this one stays tender. The shrimp holds up better than you’d think. Still, I wouldn’t push it past three days.
