Preparation

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.
