Make

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for the green beans) and when it begins to shimmer, add green beans. Saute green beans until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sesame oil (the portion for the beans), white sesame seeds and some salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute more and then transfer green beans to a bowl and cover with foil or a plate to keep warm.
Return the wok to heat and add first part of oil for the beef. To hot oil, add beef and saute until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and return wok to heat.
Add second part of oil and to hot oil add mushrooms and bell peppers and saute until mushrooms are deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and white parts of green onions and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute. Add sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Add beef back into pan and toss to coat in sauce.
Squeeze lemon juice over green beans. Serve beef over green beans with green parts of green onions on top. Enjoy!
