1. In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce with vinegar, oyster sauce, orange juice, ginger and 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch. Set aside. 2. Place steak in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt then remaining 3 tbsp (45 mL) cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. 3. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil in a large wok or wide frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring often until softened slightly, 1 minute. Remove to a medium bowl. Add asparagus and bok choy to pan. Pour in 1/4 cup (60 mL) broth. Cook until bok choy begins to wilt and asparagus turns bright green, 2 minutes. Add more broth if more liquid is needed. Turn into a large bowl, scraping in any liquid from pan bottom. Wipe out pan.

4. Coat wok or frying pan with remaining 3 tbsp (45 mL) oil. Add half of coated steak strips. Stir frequently until lightly browned on each side, 1 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove to bowl with vegetables. Repeat. When beef is done, pour soy-sauce mixture into emptied steak pan. Cook, until thickened, about 2 to 4 minutes. Return vegetables, beef and garlic to pan. Stir to coat evenly. Pour over rice, garnish with micro broccoli and serve immediately.
