- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ to ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce (adjust to taste)

- Season the Dish: Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Pour in the sesame oil and soy sauce, starting with ½ cup and adding more if needed. Stir everything together until the beef and vegetables are well coated with the seasoning and sauce.
- Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
