    • Place a wok or skillet on high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil.
    • When the oil is hot, add minced ginger and garlic.
    • Once fragrant, stir in marinated beef together with all the sauce. Don’t overcrowd the pan, and cook in small batches if needed.
    • Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Then add brown sugar, beef broth and green onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove beef to a plate.
    • In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil, stir-fry the vegetables of your choice for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
    • Add back cooked beef and mix with the vegetables.
    • Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions, serve and enjoy!
