Steak and Shrimp Teriyaki Noodles is the ultimate surf-and-turf stir-fry — tender, juicy steak and plump shrimp tossed with spaghetti noodles in a sweet, savory, and garlicky teriyaki sauce. This recipe is a celebration of bold Asian-inspired flavors, where the rich, meaty steak and the delicate, briny shrimp come together with perfectly cooked noodles and a glossy, flavor-packed sauce. The magic begins with searing the steak until browned and tender, then sautéing the shrimp until pink and juicy. Minced garlic is sautéed in sesame oil until fragrant, followed by teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, which create a rich, glossy coating for the noodles. The steak and shrimp are returned to the skillet and tossed with the noodles, creating a dish that’s as satisfying as it is delicious.
The brilliance of this recipe lies in its speed and simplicity — it’s a one-pan meal that comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The combination of steak and shrimp makes it feel special and indulgent, while the teriyaki noodles tie everything together in a sweet, savory, and utterly irresistible package.

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Cook the Steak
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the steak and season with salt, pepper, and seasonings of your choice. Sauté until half-way cooked through, then add in the sliced onion. Continue to sauté until the onion is tender and the steak is cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

Step 3: Make the Sauce
Heat the sesame oil in the same skillet, mix in the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Mix in the teriyaki and soy sauces.
Step 4: Combine with Noodles
Stir in the noodles and toss to combine well. Add the steak and shrimp back to the skillet and mix to combine.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with green onions before serving. Enjoy!
TIPS
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook in just 2-3 minutes. As soon as they turn pink and opaque, they’re done.
- Use a hot skillet — high heat gives the steak a nice sear and keeps the noodles from sticking.
- Cook the noodles al dente — they’ll continue to cook slightly when tossed with the hot sauce.
- Add vegetables — broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas are great additions.
- Use homemade teriyaki sauce — for the best flavor, make your own or use a high-quality store-bought brand.
STORAGE OPTIONS
