Instructions

Marinate the Steak and Shrimp:
In a bowl, mix soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the sliced flank steak and shrimp, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Cook the Steak:
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the cooked steak.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together, cooking for another minute to heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap in other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or baby corn.
Sauce Adjustments: For a saucier stir fry, add a splash of soy sauce or oyster sauce towards the end of cooking.
Spice Level: Add chili flakes or a bit of sriracha sauce for extra heat.
