Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 carrot, julienned

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Meat:
    In a bowl, mix soy sauce and cornstarch. Add steak and shrimp, tossing to coat. Let sit for 15–20 minutes to tenderize and absorb flavor.

  2. Cook the Steak:
    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Sear steak in a single layer for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

  3. Cook the Shrimp:
    Add remaining oil if needed. Sauté shrimp 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.

  4. Stir Fry the Veggies:
    Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the same pan. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger; cook 1 more minute until fragrant.

  5. Combine & Finish:
    Return steak and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or drizzle of sesame oil before serving.

  • Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.

  • Swap shrimp for scallops or chicken for variation.
