1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by spiralizing the zucchini and setting aside. Thinly slice the beef, bell pepper, and julienne the carrots. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

3. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and then add the sliced beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add Zoodles and Sauce: Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet with the veggies, and pour the teriyaki sauce over the mixture. Stir gently to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until the zoodles are heated through.
6. Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pan and mix well. Cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.
7. Combine and Serve: Return the beef to the skillet, mixing everything until well coated with the sauce. Cook for 1 more minute to heat through.
8. Garnish and Enjoy: Remove from heat, and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
