Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 stalks Scallions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, then let it sit for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened yet still vibrant in color.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, along with any remaining marinade from the bowl. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. If you like a bit of heat, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes at this stage.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Top the dish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
