Sesame Beef

1 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz flank steak, sliced

1/4 red bell pepper, sliced

1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, or more to taste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon dark brown sugar

1/3 cup water

2 stalks green onion, cut into 2-inch length

White sesame seeds, for garnishing

Marinade:

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, optional

Marinade the beef with all the Marinade ingredients. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Heat up a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the sesame oil, swirl to coat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic or when they turn light brown. Add the beef and stir continuously, for 1 minute. Add the red bell pepper, chili flakes, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, and water. Cook until the sauce slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add the scallion, do a few quick stirs, dish out, top with sesame seeds and serve immediately
