For added flavor, marinate the beef overnight if you have the time. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, like bell peppers or broccoli, during the stir-fry for extra nutrition. If you like it spicy, add a few red pepper flakes to the sauce for a kick. To store, let cool completely and keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
