Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup sliced carrots
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini preferred)
  • ½ cup sliced zucchini
  • 2 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 12 teaspoons water (to thin sauce as needed)
  • Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add thinly sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Let rest for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice broccoli into small florets, peel and thinly slice carrots, clean and slice mushrooms, cut zucchini into half-moons. Separate white and green parts of green onions.
  3. Make the Yum Yum Sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, tomato paste, smoked paprika, sugar, vinegar, and cayenne (if using) in a small bowl. Add water teaspoon by teaspoon until smooth and pourable. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Cook the steak: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add marinated steak in a single layer, sear 1-2 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove steak and set aside.
  5. Stir-fry vegetables: Add more oil if needed. Toss in white parts of green onions, broccoli, and carrots first. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes, then add mushrooms, zucchini, and a pinch of salt. Cook until crisp-tender.
  6. Combine and finish: Return steak to skillet, toss everything together to warm through. Sprinkle green parts of green onions on top.
  7. Serve: Plate steak and vegetables, drizzle Yum Yum Sauce on top or serve on the side for dipping.

Notes

Marinate steak for at least 10 minutes for flavor; longer if possible. Slice steak and vegetables thinly for quick, even cooking. Use a hot pan to get a good sear and avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming. Yum Yum Sauce keeps up to 3 days refrigerated. Adjust spice level with cayenne or hot sauce as desired. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and use vegan mayo for dairy-free option.
