Griddle Shrimp and Steak Stir Fry

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

23-25 oz bagged stir fry vegetable mix - from the produce section; fresh vegetables only

5 green onions (chopped into 1” long pieces)

½ bell pepper (chopped into 1” pieces)

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (We prefer the Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce - available at most grocery stores and Costco)

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon sesame oil

12-16 oz steak (cut into bite-sized cubes - sirloin, ribeye, filet, or NY strip)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced ginger

dash of black pepper

1 lb raw shrimp (thawed, peeled and deveined)

1 tablespoon mayo

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

Add the shrimp to a medium bowl with the ingredients for the sweet chili shrimp sauce (mayo, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce). Mix together so shrimp are evenly coated, and set aside.

Add the cut steak to a medium bowl with the steak marinade ingredients (soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, dash of black pepper). Mix all ingredients well, and set aside.

Preheat griddle to about 400 degrees F. Add about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the heated griddle and spread it around with your spatula.

Add the bagged stir fry vegetables, chopped bell peppers, and chopped green onions to the oiled griddle and spread in a thin, even layer for them to start to cook. After 1-2 minutes, saute vegetables together. Then, add 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Saute together, then move vegetables to the side of the griddle to continue to cook and to make room for the proteins.

Add about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the cleared griddle surface and spread it around with your spatula. Place the cut steak on the griddle and spread the pieces out so that each has its own space to cook on the griddle. Cook the steak on the first side untouched so that it can develop a nice crust, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip the steak to the second side to continue cooking.

While steak is cooking, add the shrimp to a clear area on the griddle, taking care so that each piece is in contact with the griddle surface. Cook the shrimp on the first side until about halfway cooked through, about 3 minutes. Then flip to the second side and continue to cook until done, about another 2 minutes. *The time needed to cook the shrimp will vary based on the temperature of your griddle, but cooking the shrimp will probably take about 5-6 minutes total.

When shrimp, steak, and vegetables are done cooking, saute everything together on the griddle for 60-90 seconds. Then serve.
