Directions
-
Partially freeze the beef top round steak until firm, then slice across the grain into thin 1/8-inch strips.

In a small bowl, whisk together water, cornstarch, dry sherry, and soy sauce until smooth; set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan.

Add the slivered garlic and half of the beef strips to the pan.

Stir-fry the beef and garlic for about 1 minute until the beef is seared but still slightly pink inside.

Remove the beef and garlic from the pan and set aside; repeat with the remaining beef strips.

Add the frozen vegetable mixture to the hot pan.

Stir-fry the vegetables over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.

Return the cooked beef strips and garlic to the pan with the vegetables.
