instructions
    1

    Begin by cutting the beef into thin strips. This will ensure quick cooking.

    2

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger, and water to create a marinade.

    3

    Add the beef strips to the marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    4

    While the beef is marinating, wash and chop the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot into bite-sized pieces.

    5

    Mince the garlic cloves.

    6

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

    7

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the pan and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes or until just browned.

    8

    Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

    9

    In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary and toss in the garlic, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot.

    10

    Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

    11

    Return the beef to the pan, pour any remaining marinade over the top, and stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes.

    12

    Once well combined and heated through, remove from heat and serve immediately.
