Method

1. Sauce: Whisk together orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, gingerroot, honey, cornstarch, garlic, sesame oil and chili sauce in small bowl; set aside.

2. Beef: Pat beef strips dry with paper towel. Heat oil in large skillet or wok over high heat. Stir-fry beef for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned but still pink inside; transfer to a bowl. Add mushrooms, carrot, peppers, onion and 4 tsp (20 mL) water to pan and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and cook for 2 minutes or until tender-crisp.

3. Return beef and any juices to pan. Stir in reserved sauce and return to boil; cook, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Sprinkle with hot pepper flakes (if using). Toss with individual servings of greens and garnish with oranges and cilantro leaves.

Tip

For best browning and flavour, pat steaks dry with paper towels before stir-frying
