Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in sliced carrots and bell peppers, cooking until just tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Return the beef to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.

Add sugar, fish sauce, and a splash of water, stirring to combine.

Thicken the sauce with cornstarch mixed in water, cooking for another minute.

Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
