Mushrooms, sliced (any amount; not in orig recipe)

Procedures:
Slice beef into 1/4 inch strips. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add in beef broth, sugar, black pepper, ginger, and garlic. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. (We used elec fry pan at 350.) Add in beef & toss until seared, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Don’t overcook.
Add in another 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add in peppers for at least a minute before you add the onions and mushrooms. Stir until tender crisp, about 3 minutes.
Add meat back into the wok. Add in ginger garlic sauce. Stir and cook about 1 minute until thick. Garnish with sliced green onions (optional) and serve hot, with or without rice.
