Instructions

Toss the beef strips with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beef in batches and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and water.
Return the beef to the pan and pour the sauce over it. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in a bit of soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Adjust the spice level by increasing or omitting the red pepper flakes.
