Once hot, add marinated steak strips in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then add sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir fry for another 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Return cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.

Combine and Serve

Pour the sauce over the steak and vegetables.

Once thickened and everything is heated through, remove skillet from heat.
Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with extra sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
