Thinly slice 3 green onions, separating all the white and light-green parts from all the dark-green parts; place the pepper, corn, garlic, ginger, and white and light-green onion parts together in one bowl, and reserve the dark-green parts separately for garnish.
  2. Rinse 3/4 cup dry jasmine rice. Combine the 3/4 cup rinsed jasmine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  3. While the rice cooks, toss 12 ounces Beef Stir Fry with 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; marinate for 10 minutes.

Return all the browned beef to the wok, add the full 1/2 cup prepared sauce, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce is glossy and the beef reaches at least 145°F.
  7. Divide the cooked rice made from 3/4 cup dry jasmine rice between two bowls, top with all the black pepper beef and vegetables, and garnish with all the reserved dark-green onion slices.
