1️⃣ Marinate the beef:

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
5️⃣ Cook the vegetables:
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onions, broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Return the beef to the skillet. Add cooked noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until well-coated and heated through.
