Instructions

  1. Marinate (20 minutes): In a bowl, combine beef slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 minced garlic clove. In another bowl, toss the shrimp with another tbsp of soy sauce. Let both marinate for 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare Rice (15 minutes): While the meats are marinating, prepare your white rice according to package or desired method.
  3. Stir Fry Beef (5 minutes): In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and stir fry until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. Stir Fry Shrimp (3 minutes): In the same wok, add the shrimp and stir fry until they turn pink. Remove shrimp and set aside with the beef.
  5. Sauté Veggies (8 minutes): Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in the onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and baby corn. Stir fry for about 3 minutes. Add the snap peas, broccoli, and remaining minced garlic, continuing to stir fry for another 5 minutes.
  6. Combine Ingredients (7 minutes): Return the beef and shrimp to the wok. Stir in the oyster sauce, the remaining tbsp of soy sauce, and water or beef broth. Let everything simmer together for about 4-5 minutes, ensuring the beef and shrimp are cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
