Stir-Fried Zucchini and Beef

My version of a recipe from a book titled Quick & Easy Korean Cooking for Everyone, via RecipeSource.com. The recipe originally called for cucumbers instead of zucchini; somehow I bought the zucchinis instead (I know, I know...) and I loved the end result, so here it is! The directions are a little vague, but I am a beginner cook and managed just fine. Enjoy over rice, with Sriracha.
