    Heat wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat.

    Add oil to coat.

    Add garlic and sirloin which has been thinly sliced.

    (Partially freezing makes slicing meat across grain easy.)

    Slowly stir into broth mixture and bring to a boil and cook till thickened, about one min.

    Cook over med heat for 3 min till peas are crisp-tender.
