It's packed with tender beef, crisp-tender vegetables, and a savory sauce that brings everything together.

The addition of cornstarch to the marinade also helps to thicken the sauce, creating a glossy coating on the beef and vegetables.

Not only do they add a burst of color to the dish, but they also provide a variety of textures and flavors that complement the beef perfectly. The broccoli and snow peas add a crisp freshness, while the spring onions and bell pepper contribute a subtle sweetness and crunch.
