Prepare all the ingredients by slicing the beef, chopping the vegetables, and mincing the garlic.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat slightly.
Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and toss well with the other vegetables, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and sprinkle the Italian seasoning blend, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Toss everything together to evenly coat.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to combine, and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the stir fry. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm on its own, or pair with crusty Italian bread, pasta, or steamed rice.
