When ready to cook, add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Next, add steak strips to the skillet, and cook the steak for 8-10 minutes. Then, remove the steak from the skillet to a plate.
After that, add 2 tablespoons of oil and vegetables to the same skillet over medium high heat, and cook for about 5 minutes.
