Cook the steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated sirloin steak to the hot pan. Let the steak sear for a few minutes without disturbing it to develop a crust. Stir the steak, then let it sear for a few more minutes until cooked through. Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

Then, add the shredded carrots and chopped baby bok choy to the pan. Cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally.
