• Heat the remaining oil in the wok. Add the garlic, spring onions and bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, salt and pepper, stirring until well combined.

• Return the beef to the wok and add the sesame seeds. Continue to stir-fry for about 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat and serve.
