Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- 2Prepare the sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
- 3Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
- 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the sliced cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 5Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 6Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients. Serve immediately, perhaps with steamed rice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add other vegetables to this stir-fry?
Yes, feel free to customize with your favorite stir-fry friendly vegetables like broccoli florets, snap peas, or mushrooms. Add them along with the cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper.
What's the best way to get thinly sliced beef?
Partially freezing the beef for about 30 minutes before slicing makes it much easier to get very thin, even slices against the grain. A sharp knife is also key.
Is this dish spicy?
The red pepper flakes are optional. If you prefer a milder dish, simply omit them. For more heat, you can add a pinch more.
