Make sure your pan or griddle is hot before you add the beef. Cook the beef first to get a good sear, then add aromatics and vegetables. Toss everything with soy sauce at the end so the sauce coats the meat and veg lightly.

1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or on a Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the soy sauce, tossing everything together to coat. Cook for an additional minute.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
