THE REST: You can use any vegetable, this combination works nicely with beef. Prepare everything first because cooking only takes a few minutes.

2
3-4 carrots sliced in matchstick

3
1/2 pepper of any kind also thinly sliced

4
optionally, about 1/4 cup of the thick brocolli stems, thinly sliced in matchstick (They have a great crunchy texture)

6
3-4 medium cloves of garlic minced, way smaller than a pea, 1-2 teaspoons

1/4 cup chicken broth, or a little less, (too much sauce dilutes the yummy flavors), mixed with 2 tablespoons additional soy sauce
