  • For the sauce:

  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water or beef broth
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

  5. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly.

Notes

  • Swap beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variation.
  • Add extra veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas.
  • Use zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles for a low-carb version.
  • Dark soy sauce adds richer color and flavor.
  • Prep sauce and slice ingredients ahead for faster cooking.
