Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Toss well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, water, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch to create the garlic ginger sauce. Set aside.

   Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared garlic ginger sauce and stir to combine.
