Quick Orange Beef
Quick Orange Beef
1 pound flank, sirloin or rib-eye steak
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, plus a little juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tps salt
1/2 tps black pepper
1/2 tps crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound sugar snap peas or snow peas
If time allows, freeze the steak for up to 60 min to make it easier to slice
Slice the beef as thinly as you can across the grain
If you’re cutting it so thinly that some of the meat shreds, that’s good
Combine beef with orange zest, soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper & red pepper
Heat a wide, heavy skillet or wok over high heat for a minute
Add vegetable oil & heat another minute
Add garlic & when it turns light brown (a few seconds) add the beef
Stir the beef 2 min
Add peas & stir 2 min more, or until the beef has lost its red color
Squeeze half an orange over skillet ingredients & stir to combine
Serve over rice
Serves 4 to 6
If you have leftovers: Chill rice & beef separately
When ready to cook, heat 1 or 2 Tbspvegetable oil over high heat in a wok or skillet
Add leftover rice & stir, breaking it up with a spoon or fork
When it’s broken up, add leftover beef & stir to heat through
Add soy sauce or toasted sesame oil, as desired
