  3. Preheat your wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Add half of the sliced beef and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-high, add sliced onions, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add broccolini and stir for another 2-3 minutes until charred.
  5. Stir in garlic ginger paste, cooking for another 30 seconds. Return the seared beef to the wok.
  6. Pour in the prepared sauce, add the cornstarch-water mixture, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Garnish with chilies and sesame seeds.
