2. Blanch broccoli (optional but recommended):

Boil broccoli 2 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.

3. Stir-fry steak:

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add steak; sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still medium-rare. Remove and set aside.

4. Stir-fry shrimp & veggies:

Add remaining oil to skillet.
Add shrimp; cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
