Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients Measures
Reduced-sodium chicken broth ½ cup
Low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon
Zest of ½ orange (finely grate the orange part of the peel; yields about ½ teaspoon zest)
Cornstarch 1 teaspoon
Canola oil 2 teaspoons

Clove garlic, minced 1
Small carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally 1

  • In a small bowl, combine broth, soy sauce, orange zest, and cornstarch until cornstarch dissolves. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until browned. Stir in garlic, carrot, and bell pepper, and stir-fry another 3 minutes, or until carrot is slightly tender.
  • Add chilis and cook entire mixture 2-3 more minutes, or until meat reaches desired degree of doneness.
  • Pour cornstarch mixture into pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken.
  • Remove from heat, stir in scallions, and serve.
