How to Make Surf & Turf Steak & Shrimp Lo Mein 🥩🍤

1. Start by cooking the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set them aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic, bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
4. Now, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Add the lo mein noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to get creative with this dish! Here are some swaps and upgrades you might consider:

• Instead of sirloin steak, you could use flank steak or chicken for a different flavor.
• If shrimp isn’t your thing, try adding tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Add your favorite vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
• For a kick, toss in some red pepper flakes or hot sauce!

Tips for Success

Here are some tips to ensure your Surf & Turf Lo Mein turns out perfect:

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet! Cook in batches if necessary to achieve that lovely sear on the steak and shrimp.
• Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to make the process smooth and quick.
• Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the proteins to get that nice browning.
• If you’re making this ahead, store the components separately to maintain texture.
