Instructions

Prep the Beef & Sauce

1. In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 5 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Veggies

3. Add beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Bok Choy & Bell Pepper

1. Re-spray the skillet. Add bok choy stems and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
2. Toss in bok choy leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Combine & Sauce It Up
