Scale
Protein:
- 0.5 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 0.5 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 0.5 cup snap peas
- 0.5 cup shredded carrots
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional Garnish:

Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients: slice ½ pound flank steak into thin strips against the grain, ensuring each piece is roughly ¼ inch thick. Peel and devein ½ pound medium shrimp, leaving them whole.
- Chop 3 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon fresh ginger into fine, uniform pieces. Cut 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup bell peppers, ½ cup snap peas, and ½ cup carrots into bite-sized sections.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Carefully place steak strips into hot pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until exterior develops a rich brown sear.
- Transfer seared steak to a clean plate. In the same skillet, add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they turn completely pink and opaque.
- Remove shrimp and set aside. Pour 1 tablespoon sesame oil into skillet, then add all chopped vegetables. Stir-fry at 400°F for 3-4 minutes, maintaining a crisp texture.
- Return steak and shrimp to skillet. Pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce over ingredients, then sprinkle minced garlic and ginger across the mixture.
- Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until ingredients are evenly coated and heated through. The total cooking time should not exceed 10 minutes.
- Transfer to serving plates. Optionally garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for additional flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Slicing the steak against the grain ensures tender, easy-to-chew meat that melts in your mouth.
- Keep your pan super hot to get a perfect sear on the steak and shrimp, which locks in those amazing flavors.
- For a low-carb version, skip rice and serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a lighter meal.
- Swap proteins anytime: try chicken instead of steak or add tofu for a vegetarian twist that still packs protein.
