Ingredients

- Garlic (fresh minced)

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Wash and chop all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. If you're using beef, slice it thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Heat the pan: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil (or your chosen oil) over medium-high heat.
- Add the protein: If you're using beef, add it to the pan first. Stir-fry until it’s browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the minced garlic and onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the veggies: Start with the carrots and broccoli, cooking for about 3 minutes. Then add the bell peppers, continuing to stir-fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Combine: Return the cooked beef (or your chosen protein) to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
- Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds or green onions, and serve hot!
