For a richer flavor, marinate the beef in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch for 15 minutes before stir-frying. If you don't have butternut squash, you can substitute it with sweet potato or bell peppers. Adjust the amount of tangerine zest to your preference. More zest will result in a more pronounced citrus flavor. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added visual appeal and flavor.
