Stir-Fry the Beef and Vegetables:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
Add the bell pepper, onion, and snap peas, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine and Serve:

Add the cooked noodles to the pan along with the sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated and heated through.
