• 1 Trim excess fat from beef. Cut beef with grain into 2-inch strips; cut strips across grain into 1/8-inch slices. (Beef is easier to cut if partially frozen.)
• 2 Mix broth, cornstarch, fish sauce, vinegar and brown sugar.
• 3 Spray nonstick wok or 10-inch skillet with cooking spray. Heat over high heat. Add beef, gingerroot and garlic; stir-fry about 3 minutes or until beef is brown. Remove beef from wok with slotted spoon.
• 4 Add carrots and onions; stir-fry about 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in beef, water chestnuts and lemon peel; heat to boiling. Stir in broth mixture. Cook and stir about 1 minute or until heated through.
• 5 Serve beef mixture over rice.
