Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender.
Step 4: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper and 1 large julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil for aroma and finish. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
