Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- ½ Teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 Pound sirloin steak Angus or similar
- ½ Pound shrimp large
- 1 potato russet, peeled and diced
- 2 Teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 Ounces sugar snap peas
- 2 bell peppers red, roughly chopped
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 5 green onions garnish
- oil canola or similar
For the Sauce
- ¼ Cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons mirin
- 2 Tablespoons chili sauce red
- ¼ Cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 Cloves garlic minced
- 1 Teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 1 Teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 Teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a wok over high heat.
- Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a small mixing bowl. Lightly stir. The butter will melt into the sauce as it cooks so it is ok for it to be slightly lumpy.
- Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl or ramekin and stir to combine. Separate into 2 bowls. One for the steak, one for the shrimp.
- Add shrimp to a bowl and toss with seasoning.
- Season steak on both sides with the seasoning, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Add to a separate bowl and combine with potatoes. Toss steak and potatoes with cornstarch.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the steak and potatoes and stir fry for 3 minutes. Remove the steak and set aside.
- Next, add the sugar snap peas, bell peppers, and onions to the wok. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the sauce to the wok and lower the heat to medium setting. Stir often as it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Push most of the ingredients up the sides of the wok and add the shrimp in the cleared space. Let them cook in the simmering sauce for 1 minute, then flip shrimp over and cook for 30 more seconds. Turn off the heat.
- Add the steak back to the wok and stir to combine. Cover and let set for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with green onions.
Notes
Preheat your wok: A hot wok is key for good searing and fast cooking.
Cut steak evenly: Uniform pieces cook faster and stay juicy.
Stir the sauce often: This prevents sticking and ensures it thickens evenly.
