Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 12 large shrimp and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 8 oz sirloin steak cubes. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides but still medium-rare inside. Remove and set aside with shrimp.
  3. Step 3: Lower heat to medium and add 2 tbsp sesame oil along with 4 minced garlic cloves. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Cook sauce for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Return shrimp and steak to the skillet, toss gently to coat with garlic soy sauce. Add 2 sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1 minute until everything is heated through and aromatic.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
