Instructions
1. Marinate the Beef

4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok.
- Add the minced garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers and onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Combine and Cook
- Return the beef to the wok with the vegetables.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
