Partially freeze beef flank steak to firm (approx. 30 minutes). Cut steak in half lengthwise; cut each half across the grain into 1/8-inch thick strips. Combine 1 tablespoon sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch; pour over beef strips, tossing to coat. Heat remaining sesame oil in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pepper pods, garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and corn; stir-fry 1 1/2 minutes. Add pea pods; stir-fry 30 seconds. Remove vegetables from pan; reserve. Stir-fry beef strips (half at a time) 2 to 3 minutes. Return vegetables and beef to pan and heat through. Serve immediately.
