Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Remove steak tips from marinade, reserving the marinade for later.

Sear steak tips in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.

In a small saucepan, combine reserved marinade with cornstarch and water; bring to a boil over medium heat.

Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.

Add cooked steak tips back to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Serve hot with your choice of sides.
