Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain.

In a bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to create the marinade.

Add the beef to the marinade, mixing well, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.

Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender.

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

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry.

Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to combine.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice, garnished with sliced scallions.
