Instructions

1. Marinate beef
   • Toss sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil.
   • Let sit 15–20 minutes (this keeps beef tender).
2. Mix sauce
   • In a small bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth.
3. Stir-fry beef
   • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a hot skillet or wok over high heat.
   • Add beef in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes per side.
   • Remove beef and set aside.
4. Cook vegetables
   • Add remaining oil to the pan.
   • Stir-fry garlic (and ginger if using) for 30 seconds.
   • Add onions and peppers. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but crisp.
5. Combine & thicken
   • Return beef to pan.
   • Pour in sauce and toss quickly.
   • Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything.
6. Serve
   • Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
