Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Proteins: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, grated garlic, ginger paste, and sesame oil. Place sirloin steak and shrimp in separate bowls, pour half the marinade over each, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce: Combine Kewpie mayonnaise, tomato paste, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, rice wine vinegar, and Chinese hot mustard. Whisk until smooth and let chill in refrigerator.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a wok over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Cook the Sirloin Steak: In the same skillet, add oil if needed and increase heat to high. Cook marinated sirloin steak for 5-6 minutes until browned to desired doneness. Keep warm with shrimp.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Lower heat, melt butter, and sauté onions and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. Add carrots and zucchini, seasoning with salt and pepper, cook another 4-5 minutes.
