Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F
Thinly slice flank steak against the grain and then into 1 cm pieces. Add to a large bowl along with remaining marinade ingredients. Toss so beef is coated evenly, cover and let sit for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your carrot and peppers. Once beef mixture has marinated for 20 minutes add vegetables and cornstarch and toss until cornstarch has dissolved and vegetables are evenly distributed.
Unroll circles of pie dough and cut into quarters. Place 3 tablespoons of filling on one half of each triangle, leaving a 1 cm border from the closest edge. Fold the empty side of dough over to create a smaller triangle and press down on the edges to seal. Fold ½ cm of edge inward and pinch closed or press down with a fork. Continue until all triangles are used.
Brush each pocket with egg wash, sprinkle over sesame seeds and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
