7. Add the oil, swirling around to coat the sides; add the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
8. Add the beef and stir-fry until caramelized on the edges and still slightly pink in the center, 2-3 minutes.
9. Add the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 20 seconds.
10. Stir in the orange segments and pineapple chunks; cook for 30 seconds to heat through.
11. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and serve.
