Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in two batches, sear the beef 90 seconds per side without stirring. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Pour off all but 1 tbsp oil. Add ginger and chili, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add soy sauce and brown sugar, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture bubbles, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Return beef to the skillet, toss with the glaze for 1 minute until coated and heated through.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Fold in scallions, sprinkle sesame seeds, serve immediately over rice.
