Instructions

- Prepare vegetables by slicing bell peppers, red onion, julienning carrot, and slicing green onions. Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a large pan. Cook beef in batches 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil, stir-fry vegetables 4-6 minutes until tender-crisp. Optional: add marinade to thicken. Toss in green onions and cook 30 seconds. Return beef to pan, toss to combine, heat through 1-2 minutes.

Notes
For best results, slice the beef thinly and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
