Sesame Seed Beef Stir-fry

This is one of my favorite recipes to cook and eat! It is a quick recipe that results in a delicious meal. It's also versatile and forgiving, when I didn't have hot bean sauce I used a 1/2 tsp of sriracha instead, and while beef is preferable, you can always substitute chicken breast, turkey tenderloin, pork strips or firm tofu.  Tender, flavorful marinaded beef, coated in a slightly sweet and spicy sesame sauce.
