    Begin by slicing the beef into thin strips against the grain.

    2

    Marinate the beef with soy sauce, ginger, and cornstarch for about 10 minutes.

    While the beef is marinating, prep the vegetables by slicing the bell pepper and carrot, and cutting the broccoli into florets.

    4

    Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned.

    6

    Add minced garlic and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    Next, add the prepared vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crunchy.

    Pour in the water, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
