Add all the beef marinade ingredients to a bowl, mix well and cover with plastic wrap. Transfer to the fridge and let marinade for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients together, set aside.
Add the vegetable oil to a wok or large skillet and heat over high heat. Add half the beef to the wok and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the beef to a plate and repeat with remaining beef. Drain the oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok.
Over medium-high heat, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the onion and peppers to the wok and cook for a minute.
Add the beef back to the wok and the prepared black pepper sauce. Toss until well combined. Drizzle some extra sesame oil over the beef and stir.
Serve immediately over rice.
Notes:

No wok needed. A wok is not required to make this dish. You can use a large nonstick skillet with a surface big enough to stir fry all the ingredients properly and achieve the same results.
Use the baking soda. This magic marinade ingredient makes the beef nice and tender. So do not leave it out! And give the beef the full 20 minutes to marinate.
Any protein can be used. Pork, chicken, shrimp, and tofu can be used in addition to or in place of the beef.
Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer in an airtight container.
