Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice 1 lb flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Coat the meat with 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Let your marinade sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a wok at 400°F. Spread steak in a single layer and sear for exactly 3-4 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Transfer meat to a clean plate.
- Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the hot wok. Toss 1 lb peeled shrimp into the pan, cooking 2-3 minutes until they turn completely pink. Remove shrimp from the wok.
- Introduce 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1 julienned carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes at high heat until vegetables become slightly crisp.
- Mince 3 garlic cloves and 1 Tbsp fresh ginger. Sprinkle into the vegetable mixture, stirring for an additional 1 minute to release aromatic flavors.
- Return steak and shrimp to the wok. Gently toss everything together for 2 minutes to ensure even heating at 375°F.
- Season your stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. Scatter 2 chopped green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds across the top for a fresh finish.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles while the dish remains piping hot.
Notes
- Marinate the steak for extra tenderness by adding a splash of rice wine or mirin to the soy sauce mixture.
- Ensure your wok or skillet is super hot before adding proteins to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear without overcooking.
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and maintain a crisp texture.
- For a low-carb version, replace rice with cauliflower rice or serve over zucchini noodles to keep the dish light and nutritious.
