Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots)

For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions
- Prep the Beef: Slice the flank steak thinly and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, water, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Sear the beef slices in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
