In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow it to marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sesame oil and toss in the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, adding 2 tablespoons of water partway through to help steam the vegetables slightly.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine it with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top. Stir well to evenly distribute.
Serve immediately as-is or over steamed brown rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
