How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the cooking process! Follow these simple steps to create your stir fry:

1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Return the cooked steak to the skillet along with the shrimp. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your stir fry turns out perfectly:

• Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.
• Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to make the process smoother.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
• If you love a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
• For a twist, try serving this stir fry over rice or noodles, or even as a filling for lettuce wraps!

How to Serve

This Steak and Shrimp Stir Fry is best served hot right off the skillet. You can enjoy it on its own or pair it with:

• Steamed rice or quinoa for a hearty meal.
• Cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
• As a filling for tacos or lettuce wraps for a fun twist.

It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a weeknight dinner idea that’s both healthy and satisfying!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can marinate the steak and chop the vegetables a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving. This makes it a great option for meal prep, especially if you’re looking for Low Calorie Steak Recipes or High Protein No Dairy Recipes.
