# What You’ll Need:

01 - 12 ounces top round beef, thinly sliced
02 - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
03 - 2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
06 - 1½ teaspoons crushed red-pepper flakes

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Sprinkle the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
02 - In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned on the outside but not fully cooked, about 2 minutes.
03 - Transfer the beef to a bowl. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and crushed red-pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
04 - In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 4 minutes.
05 - Push the peppers to one side of the skillet and return the beef to the other side. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir the minced garlic into the peppers and cook for 1 additional minute.
06 - Sprinkle the dish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
