Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Add the sliced steak to the marinade and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. Wash and slice your bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Set aside. Chop the green onions and mince the garlic.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and set aside with the steak.
  5. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet.
  6. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped green onions, stir, and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
