Pour the juice from the can of mandarin oranges into a medium bowl, resuming the oranges. After zesting the navel oranges, squeeze their juice into the bowl of mandarin orange juice. Remove 2 tablespoons and combine with the cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve and set aside. In a very large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat (If you only have a 10-inch skillet or smaller, you will need to cook the meat and then the vegetables in batches, and then combine.) Add the sliced steak and saute for 5 minutes. Pour off excess juices. Turn the slices and add the carrots, snow peas, and green bell pepper. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the orange juice. Heat through.
Add the garlic, orange zest, and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a simmer. Add the scallions and teriyaki sauce. Toss the meat and vegetables. Remove to a platter and top with mandarin oranges.
