Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, let the thinly sliced beef steak soak in the marinade mixture for 15 minutes.

- Avoid overcooking vegetables, they should be crisp-tender for the best texture.
- Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken before adding the beef back in for maximum flavor absorption.
