Method
 

Creating the Heavy-on-the-Veggies Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry is a simple process when you follow these steps
  1. Combine sliced beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables while the beef marinates to prepare for quick cooking.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Add marinated beef to the hot pan in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes until browned, then remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add minced garlic and ginger to the same pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas, then stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  7. Return beef to the pan, stir in green onions, and cook for 2-3 minutes until beef is cooked through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with additional soy sauce if desired.
  9. Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles and garnish with extra green onions.

Notes

Beef Selection: I've found that flank steak or sirloin tip work beautifully here because they stay incredibly tender during a quick sear.
