Preparation
Step 1
Stir together the 3 sauce ingredients and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large heavy pan or wok over high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. When oil is hot, add beef in a single layer and sautee undisturbed 2-3 mins. Stir and sautee another 2 min or until nearly cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper, add ginger and garlic and sautee 1 min.
Step 3
Drizzle beef with sauce to taste (I added 5 Tbsp) and stir-fry another 1 min or until beef is fully cooked through. Remove beef to a plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
Step 4
Place clean pan over high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add mushrooms, season lightly with salt and pepper and stir fry until golden (5 min). Transfer mushrooms to the plate with beef.
Step 5
Add 1 Tbsp oil along with sliced onion and veggies and stir fry about 8 min or until soft and golden.
Step 6
Combine vegetables with beef and mushrooms, drizzle in more sauce to taste (I used another 2 Tbsp) and stir fry just until hot. Serve over steamy white rice.

Chef's notes
If you use a sweet BBQ sauce, the sauce will be considerably sweeter which is why we opted to use an original BBQ sauce.
This recipe also works well with pork strip loin or tenderloin.
Use a high smoke-point oil such as:
extra light olive oil, avocado oil, canola.
