Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Meanwhile, drain and cube the tofu. Add it to the skillet, gently stirring to combine with the beef and vegetables.
Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
