3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute.
4. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cashew nuts to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
6. Serve the beef and mushroom mixture over the cooked rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
