Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sugar until dissolved. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 dried red chili peppers and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the 8 oz beef jerky to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the jerky and toss to coat. Cook, stirring, until the jerky is heated through and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the jerky and toss to combine. Cook for another minute until the seeds are lightly toasted and the jerky is glossy.
Step 5
Remove from heat and serve warm or at room temperature.
