Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz flank steak sliced into thin strips
  • 8 oz raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos for gluten-free

Method
 

  1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the steak into thin strips and pat dry with paper towels. Peel and devein the shrimp. Cut veggies into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Cook the steak: Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the shrimp: Add the rest of the oil. Add shrimp and stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until pink. Remove and set aside.
  5. Stir-fry the veggies: Add bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  6. Combine and sauce it up: Return steak and shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the sauce. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is coated and heated through.
  7. Finish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if you like. Serve hot!

Notes

You can use chicken instead of steak, or frozen shrimp if that's what you have. Just be sure to thaw them first. If you're going low-sodium, swap in coconut aminos for soy sauce. To add more volume without too many calories, throw in extra veggies like zucchini or mushrooms.
