- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

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 maximum tenderness.
- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking; stir-frying is a quick process!
- 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.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or noodles, making it a great option for weeknight dinner ideas.
How to Serve
Serve your Steak and Shrimp Stir Fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions. It’s perfect on its own or over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles. If you’re looking for a lighter option, consider serving it with a side of steamed cauliflower rice for a Low Carb Steak Dinner.
Make Ahead and Storage
This stir fry is best enjoyed fresh, but you can certainly make it ahead of time! 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. It’s a fantastic option for meal prep, allowing you to enjoy a delicious, healthy meal throughout the week!
