Season the ribeye steak with salt and pepper, using clean hands to mix.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the sauce will add flavor.

In a bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce (regular, not low sodium), oyster sauce, sriracha (to taste), sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and a little sugar to balance the flavors.

Heat a large wok over high heat and sear the steak for about 30-45 seconds per side, then remove it from the wok.

Add the shrimp to the wok and cook for about 20-30 seconds until just seared, then remove from the wok.

Add sesame oil to the wok, then add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.

Add thinly sliced carrots and scallions to the wok and sauté for about 5 minutes.

Boil chow mein noodles according to package instructions (about 2-3 minutes), then drain.

Add the sauce to the sautéed veggies in the wok and let it come to a simmer.

Add the cooked chow mein noodles to the wok, mixing everything together until well combined.

Return the seared steak and shrimp to the wok, tossing everything together until heated through.

Finish with a handful of scallions on top before serving.
