How To Cook Asian Surf & Turf (Seafood & Red Meat)

 

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound flank steak (I used diced wagyu beef cubes) 
• 3/4 pound fresh shrimps (peeled & deveined)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil 
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)

For the sauce ingredients:

• 1/3 cup low sodium light soy sauce
• 2-3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Pat steak dry using paper towels. Thinly slice it against grain into 1/4 inch thick strips and toss it with corn starch in a large bowl untill well-coated. Set it aside.
   Note: Tossing it into corn starch will help in retaining its moisture when cooking to make it more tender
2. Peel and remove veins from shrimps. Set it aside.
3. Add all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir it occasionally to bring it to a boil over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce it to low heat to keep the sauce warm.
4. Heat oil in a large wide pan over medium heat for a few minutes.
5. Add sliced beef and cook it untill browned, stirring it frequently. Transfre it to a plate. 
   
   
   
6. Add shrimp in the pan in a single layer. Cook it untill pink and opaque. Flip it over and cook for another minute or untill cooked through. 

   
7. Return the cooked beef back into the pan and pour sauce on top of it. Stir for a minute to soak both the shrimps & beef in it. 

   
   
8. Turn off the heat. Stir in scallions and serve it immediately.
