Preparation

What You Need

3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce, divided

1 lb (500 g) sirloin steak, thinly sliced

1 cup (250 ml) milk

1 beef broth cube or

1 tsp (5 ml) instant beef broth

1/2 cup (125 ml) orange juice

1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) grated orange peel

1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried chili flakes (optional)

2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil

1 tbsp (15 ml) butter

2 cups (500 ml) thickly sliced mushrooms

1 cup (250 ml) coarsely grated carrots

1 red pepper, cut in strips

2 cups (500 ml) broccoli florets

4 green onions, sliced

1 tbsp (15 ml) grated fresh ginger root

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 1/2 tbsp (35 ml) cornstarch

2 tbsp (30 ml) water

12 oz (350 ml) 1 pkg Chinese-style noodles or

3 cups (750 ml) hot cooked rice

Instructions

Sprinkle 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the soy sauce over steak strips and toss; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine milk and broth, mix well. Add orange juice, peel, chili flakes and remaining soy sauce; set aside.

In a large fry pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and stir fry, in batches if necessary, just until beef is no longer pink. Transfer to a plate; set aside.

Add butter to the fry pan and sauté mushrooms until softened. Add vegetables, ginger root and garlic, stirring for 3 minutes. Pour in milk mixture and beef, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil.

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water and mix into stir fry until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and serve over Chinese-style noodles or rice.

Tips

Forget take-out! Tender strips of beef and crunchy vegetables tossed with a fresh ginger-orange sauce. Ready in no time at all!
