1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 minced garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

orange section

Preparation

In bowl, combine juice, broth, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes; add beef, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add vegetables; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and skillet and set aside.
Add remaining oil (not the sesame oil) to the skillet; heat one minute.
Remove beef from bowl, letting excess marinade drip off; reserve marinade.
Add beef to hot skillet (be careful of splattering) and cook, stirring occasionally, just until cooked through, about 3 minutes; remove from heat and set skillet aside while you do the next step.
Mix the cornstarch with a little of the reserved marinade until smooth, then mix that with the rest of the reserved marinade; stir into skillet.
Add vegetables and bring to a boil; cook until sauce is thickened and vegetables are hot, about five minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in sesame oil and reserved orange segments; serve with rice that has been sprinkled with orange zest and sesame seeds.
