🔥 How to Cook
- Prep everything first. Stir frying moves fast.

- Cook steak in a single layer (1–2 minutes per side). Remove.
- Add a little more oil if needed. Cook shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove.
- Stir fry vegetables 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Add garlic & ginger (30 seconds).
- Return steak and shrimp to the pan.
- Pour in sauce. Add cornstarch slurry and toss until glossy and slightly thickened (about 1 minute).
🍚 Serve With

🔥 Pro Tips
- Slice steak thin and against the grain for tenderness.
- Pat shrimp dry before cooking for better sear.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
- High heat = better flavor.
If you’d like, I can give you a spicy version, a teriyaki-style version, or a garlic butter version.
