Instructions:

Step 1: Marinate the Steak

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil.
2. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat evenly.
3. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for more flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce

2. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Beef

3. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
