Add the beef, garlic, red pepper, and ginger and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Stir in the peas and carrots, rice and soy sauce until thoroughly mixed. Add the water chestnuts and pineapple tidbits with the juice, stirring until combines. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
