  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Shrimp Marinade

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 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 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 meat 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, mix the peeled and deveined shrimp with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 clove minced garlic. Stir well to combine and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  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 and set aside for later use.
  4. Cook the Steak: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to brown on all sides but remain slightly pink in the center. Remove the steak from the wok and set aside.
  5. Cook the Shrimp: In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
  6. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add one more tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the sliced onion, red and green bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and sliced carrots. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  7. Combine and Serve: Pour the prepared sauce into the wok over the vegetables. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the wok. Stir everything together and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until well combined and heated through. Serve the stir-fry hot over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Marinating the steak and shrimp helps tenderize the proteins and infuse flavor.
  • Use a very hot wok or skillet for successful stir-frying to achieve a good sear and preserve vegetable crunch.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
  • Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a pescatarian version (omit steak in that case).
