instructions
    1

    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

    2

    Add the minced garlic and sliced onions, cooking for about 2 minutes until the onions become translucent.

    3

    Next, add the sliced beef or chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until it is no longer pink. Ensure the meat is well-cooked.

    4

    Once the meat is cooked, add in the sliced red and green bell peppers, carrot, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crunchy.

    5

    Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the gochugaru over the mixture. Stir everything well, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and give the dish a final stir, allowing the flavors to meld for 1 minute.

    7

    Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving.

    8

    Garnish with sesame seeds before plating.
