Orange Beef No.1 Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Beef Recipes   |   Asian Recipes
Yield: 4 Servings
 
Ingredients
  1  lb Boneless top sirloin steak, partially frozen  
  3  tb Soy sauce, divided  
  1/4  cup plus 1 tsp sugar, divided  
  1   Egg white  
  2  tb Cornstarch  
  2  tb Vegetable oil  
  2  tb Finely chopped fresh orange or tangerine peel  
  1/2   To 1 tsp Chinese chili paste with garlic  
  2  tb Frozen orange juice concentrate  
  1  tb Ketchup  
  1/4  cup plus 1 Tb water, divided  
    Few drops orange extract (Optional)  
    Minced fresh parsley for garnish  
    Orange slices for garnish  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Cut the partially frozen steak across the grain into paper-thin slices about 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add the beef slices and toss to coat. Mix in the egg white, then add 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch, mixing with fingers to distribute evenly.

 
  2. In a wok or 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot. Add the beef and stri-fry until the meat just loses its redness, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a dish.

 
  3. In the oil remaining in the wok, stir-fry the orange peel over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Mix in the chili paste, orange juice concentrate, the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the ketchup, 1/4 cup water, and the orange extract. Heat to boiling.

 
  4. Dissolve the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch in the remaining 1 tablespoon water and add to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.

 
  5. Return the beef to the wok and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice, garnished with parsley and orange slices, if desired.
