Wash hands before starting.

Coat the skillet with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

Prepare a marinade with 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, mixing them together.

Add chicken rub from a specialty jar to the chicken and mix well.

Let the chicken marinate for a couple of hours if possible.

Slice red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and a medium onion, and add them to a separate bag.

Add olive oil and chicken rub to the veggies and mix to coat them.

Heat the skillet and add the marinated beef, cooking until browned and juices are released.

Remove the beef from the skillet and reduce the juices until thickened.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until done, about 10 minutes.

Cook raw shrimp in the remaining juices for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink.

Sauté the mixed veggies in the skillet until slightly crisp, ensuring they are coated with oil and seasoning.
