Make

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then beef to heated oil. Toss until slightly golden. Remove from wok and set aside.
Wipe wok clean with a paper towel and return back to medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then onions to heated oil with a sprinkle of salt. Saute for ~3 minutes, until softened, and then add carrots with ginger. Saute for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Next add snow peas and return steak back to the wok. Push all ingredients to the side of the wok forming a donut hole in the middle. Give the stir-fry sauce a stir in case any corn starch has sunk to the bottom and then pour into the hole.
Wait for sauce to bubble and darken and then toss everything through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy over quinoa with green onions.
