Instructions:
Marinate the Steak:

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated steak in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies:
In the same skillet, add more oil if needed.
Stir-fry the sliced onions and bell peppers for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add Garlic and Ginger:
Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine Everything:
Return the cooked steak to the skillet.
Pour in the stir-fry sauce and stir well.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
