Remember, it’s always best to use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the meal. Let’s walk through them to see how we can use them!

• Steak: Use flank, ribeye, or strip steak—whatever you prefer! Just make sure to cut it into even cubes for quick cooking.

• Jumbo Shrimp: Adds a wonderful juicy texture and cooks in just a couple of minutes.

• Fresh Veggies: Yellow onion, green beans, and bell peppers bring that essential crunch to balance out the tender steak and shrimp.

• Savory Sauce: A blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, rice wine, and a cornstarch slurry makes a silky sauce that brings everything together.

Recipe Tips

• Cut Evenly: Make sure the steak and veggies are cut into even pieces so they cook at the same rate.

• Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly—just 2-3 minutes is all they need to turn pink and tender.

• Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the brown sugar to ¼ cup.

Variations

• Swap the Protein: Want to skip the steak? Use chicken breast instead. It’s equally delicious!

• Make It Spicy: Add a teaspoon of chili paste or a dash of red pepper flakes to give the sauce some heat.

• Vegetarian Version: Replace the steak and shrimp with tofu for a delicious vegetarian option. Make sure to press and dry the tofu well before cooking.

How to Make THE BEST SHRIMP & STEAK STIR-FRY:

This recipe is super simple and comes together in no time. Here’s a quick breakdown of how to make this delicious Shrimp & Steak Stir-Fry:

The full written recipe is below, but here’s an overview:

• STEP 1: Cook the Steak. Heat 1½ teaspoons of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed steak. Sear for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

• STEP 2: Sauté the Vegetables. Add another teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Toss in the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring every now and then until they’re tender-crisp. Once done, remove the veggies and set them aside.

• STEP 3: Make the Sauce. With the skillet still over medium-high heat, pour in the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, rice wine, and water. Stir everything together. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens—this should take about 2-3 minutes.

• STEP 4: Bring It All Together. Return the cooked steak to the skillet, along with the sautéed veggies and green beans. Stir to combine, then add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and everything is coated with that luscious sauce.

• STEP 5: Serve. Remove from the heat and serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prep the veggies and sauce ahead of time, but it's best to cook the steak and shrimp just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.

What can I use instead of rice wine?
If you don't have rice wine, you can substitute it with dry sherry or even a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Add a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
