Ingredients
-
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, divided
-
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 cup broccoli florets
-
1 carrot, julienned
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
-
2 green onions, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
-
Marinate the steak: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced steak with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let rest for 10 minutes.
-
Cook the steak: Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer, cook until browned (3–4 minutes), then transfer to a plate.
-
Sauté the shrimp: Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil; once hot, add shrimp and cook until pink (2–3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
-
Stir-fry the veggies: In the same pan, toss in bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Add garlic and ginger; cook 1 more minute.
-
Combine & heat through: Return steak and shrimp to the pan. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Garnish & serve: Plate over rice or noodles, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and enjoy hot.
Notes
-
Hot pan is key: Ensure your wok or skillet is preheated well for that perfect sear.
-
Don’t overcook shrimp: Remove them as soon as they turn opaque.
-
Veggie swaps: Try snow peas, zucchini, or mushrooms to mix things up.
-
Sauce tweaks: For extra depth, add a drizzle of sesame oil or a pinch of brown sugar.
