Instructions
Prepare the Beef:

Make the Teriyaki Glaze:

- Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the teriyaki glaze over the beef and vegetables.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly with the glaze.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve:

- Serve the Teriyaki Glazed Beef Stir-Fry with steamed rice or noodles.
