Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.

- Step 3: Add the marinated beef to the wok in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes to develop a crust, then stir-fry for another 2 minutes until beef is browned but still tender.
- Step 4: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper and 3 sliced green onions, stir-frying for 2 more minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
