Method
 

  1. Chop all vegetables and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  3. Season steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  6. Add shrimp to the same skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside with the steak.
  7. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
  8. Add bell peppers, onion, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, and garlic to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. Pour sauce over vegetables in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Return steak and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce.
  11. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until steak and shrimp are heated through.
  12. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
  13. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steak and shrimp. Cook in batches if necessary. High heat is key for stir-frying. Adjust the sauce to your liking by adding more honey for sweetness or red pepper flakes for spice. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. To make this recipe gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Try adding other vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or water chestnuts. For a heartier meal, toss in some cooked noodles at the end.
