  3. Push the veggies to one side of the pan; add marinated beef to the other side and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and veggies, mixing well to incorporate everything. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
