Move beef to a side of the wok and add remaining sesame oil, bell pepper, zucchini and snap peas to the centre of the wok. Cook vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes
“Stir fry” means to cook small pieces of food quickly on high heat and stirring constantly. So make sure all beef stir fry ingredients are prepped before you light the stove. Use well-preheated wok. My favourite oil to use for stir frying is toasted sesame oil because it’s so Asian, and so is stir fry.
