Stir in remaining sesame oil, remaining water, stock pot, soy sauce, brown sugar, carrot and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 mins until beef is tender.
Combine cornflour with 2 Tbsp water. Stir into beef. Cook, stirring for 2 mins or until thickened slightly. Sprinkle with remaining spring onion and sesame seeds. Serve with rice and Asian greens.
