Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grind 2 teaspoons of cumin seeds in a spice grinder (or crush them in the bottom of a frying pan). Combine the chopped steak in a large bowl with the ground cumin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar; let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper, slice the chili into very thin rings, and slice the green onion into 2-cm pieces.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the bell pepper, chili, green onions, and a pinch of salt. Cook, undisturbed, until the vegetables are charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Stir a few times and continue cooking until tender, about 1 more minute; transfer to a large plate.

  3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the meat, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of cumin and cook, undisturbed, until the steak is crispy around the edges, 3-5 minutes. Stir a few times and continue cooking until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then return the vegetables to the skillet along with half the cilantro; toss to combine. Serve the stir-fry over rice, garnished with the remaining cilantro.
