Veggie Beef Stir-Fry

Submitted by Derf2440

"This is made up of "soft" veggies so it is quick to cook, except the beef that is marinated overnight. I used recipe #33049 by Johnvac52,for the marinade, it is excellent and I reserved the marinade and used some of it for the sauce on the stir fry. Delicious!! Using the marinade for the sauce creates wonderful flavour! Cook time does not include the time to marinate overnight."
