  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated beef and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add peanut oil and add beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip to brown for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add green onions, ginger, and garlic. Stir quickly for 30 seconds, then add bell peppers and bok choy. Stir for 1 minute.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over vegetables, stirring until thickened (1-2 minutes). Return beef to skillet, toss to coat in sauce and remove from heat.
