Quick Beef Stir-Fry with Vegetables Recipe
This Quick Beef Stir-Fry with Vegetables is basically dinner therapy in a pan — minus the chaos, guilt, and actual beef. It’s vibrant, flavorful, and ready before you can text, “What should I eat tonight?” Crisp veggies, tangy sauce, and perfectly sautéed plant-based “beef” come together faster than you can say takeout. It’s the kind of dish that screams effort while secretly taking almost none. You’ll feel like a wok-wielding goddess who balances flavor, color, and sass in every bite. Oh, and it’s totally vegan — because compassion pairs beautifully with soy sauce.
