Instructions
1. Place the soy sauce, sesame oil and brown sugar in a small bowl and whisk together.
2. Add the chopped scallions, minced ginger and garlic and toasted sesame seeds. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and place in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, saut the beef strips for a few minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
4. Add the broccoli, chopped mushrooms and sliced pepper. Fry for 5 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften, stirring continuously.
5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the vegetables and stir. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer.
6. Add the beef strips and cook for a further 5 minutes.
7. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water and add to the wok or frying pan. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately.
