  2. Add the Beef: Introduce the sliced beef to the pan and cook for around 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through.
  3. Mix in the Veggies: Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are cooked but still crispy.

  5. Serve Hot: Serve the stir fry warm, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: Consider using chicken or tofu if beef is unavailable. Ensure all ingredients are prepped before starting to cook for efficient stir frying. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness.
