  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

To Serve

  • Cooked rice
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: In a medium bowl, combine the sirloin steak cubes with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the steak evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a separate bowl, combine peeled and deveined shrimp with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 minced clove garlic. Mix well to coat all shrimp pieces. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Whisk until cornstarch is fully dissolved to ensure a smooth sauce. Set aside.
  4. Cook the Steak: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add marinated steak in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides but still slightly pink inside. Remove steak from wok and set aside to rest.
  5. Cook the Shrimp: Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Place the marinated shrimp in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from wok and set aside with steak.
  6. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, broccoli florets, snow peas, and sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant and slightly crunchy.
  7. Combine and Serve: Pour the prepared sauce into the wok with the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the wok and stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the steak and shrimp are heated through and well coated with the sauce. Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Marinating the steak and shrimp helps tenderize and enhance their flavor.
  • Use a large wok or skillet to allow for quick, even cooking without overcrowding.
  • You can substitute chicken or tofu for the steak and shrimp for a different variation.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for desired level of spice or omit for mild flavor.
  • Serve immediately after cooking for best texture and flavor.
  • Vegetables can be swapped out depending on seasonality or preference.
