Instructions: 1. Combine the sugar, sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Add the pepper flakes, if desired. Slice the beef into thin, 2 inch-long strips. Stir into the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Heat a large nonstick wok. Pour in the vegetable oil. Stir in the onions and cook about 1 minute. Put the meat and marinade into the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until the steak is browned on all sides. Stir in the broccoli and bell pepper. Cook about 3 minutes, covered, until the broccoli softens slightly and turns bright green. Shake the pan frequently.

3. Stir the cornstarch and water together until a paste forms and pour it into the wok. Stir constantly and cook over high heat until the sauce thickens.

Note: Asian sesame oil goes by many names such as toasted sesame oil and dark sesame oil. Sesame oil light in color and mild in taste is not toasted oil and cannot be used interchangeably with Asian sesame oil.
