Step 1
In a bowl, toss the 1 lb beef slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the 1 cubed eggplant and 2 sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the ingredients and the beef is heated through.
Step 6
Serve hot over rice or noodles.
