Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a round pizza shape, about 10 inches in diameter.
7. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Spread the marinated beef evenly over the pizza base. Top with sliced bell pepper and chopped green onions.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
10. Drizzle sesame oil over the pizza, garnish with fresh cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
