Heat a large griddle or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, breaking up any clumps, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the griddle and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the griddle. Add the sliced cabbage, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Return the cooked beef to the griddle with the vegetables. Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk again, then pour it evenly over the beef and vegetables. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients. The sauce will become glossy and cling to the stir fry.
