Preparation
Step 1
Season the beef with salt and pepper, to taste.
2.Place the seasoned beef and cornstarch in a resealable gallon-sized bag and shake it to coat each piece.
3.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ginger, soy sauce, and orange juice and set it next to the wok or skillet.
4.Over high heat, heat a wok or large nonstick skillet with tall sides. When hot, add the oil and swirl it around to coat the surface. The oil will look like it is rippling.
5.Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the wok, and stir them around until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and take them out, reserving them on a plate.
6.Add the coated beef to the skillet, stirring it around for 1-2 minutes.
7.With the beef still in the skillet, add the broccoli, bell pepper, snow peas, and water chestnuts and stir them around until tender-crisp, about 2-4 minutes.
8.Add the set-aside sauce and cooked garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened and coating the beef and vegetables, about for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, and serve with optional rice as desired.
