5. Remove lid, add in bell pepper and water chestnuts; continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.
6. Clear center of pan and add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, garlic, and ginger; cook, mashing garlic mixture into pan with back of spatula, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
7. Stir in cooked beef; whisk Orange-Sesame Sauce to recombine; add to pan, and bring to a simmer.
8. Cook sauce until thickened, 1-2 minutes; serve immediately.
