Answers:
You can use flour in place of cornstarch to make your slurry to thicken your sauce!.

Cut up your beef which every cut your perfer cook over high heat with a tablespoon or so of veg!. oil (if you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet) you want to cook the meat quickly!. Then add some of chopped onion (you can run you frozen stir fry veggies in some hot water in a colandar to thaw them out while you cook your meat) then add your veggies!. Do you have some garlic!? If you do, chop a clove or two and add it to your beef and onion!. Add your thawed veggies!. Cook those for 5 mins!. or so so they are warmed Add about a cup of beef broth (use your bouillon) 2 to three tablespoons of soy sauce!. Let it simmer for about 5 mins!. or so!. Make a slurry of flour and water!. While your stir fry is simmering whisk it into the sauce to thicken

Serve over rice!. Its not fancy but its good!. If I have meat and frozen veggies I will make stir fry this way!. it quick fast and cheap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
