Crispy Orange Beef is a delightful and tangy dish featuring tender beef strips coated in a gluten-free batter, fried to perfection, and tossed in a sweet and zesty orange sauce. This dish brings a burst of flavor and texture, making it a perfect main course for any meal.

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 250 grams, thinly sliced
• Gluten-free cornstarch - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large, beaten
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 cup, for frying
• Fresh orange juice - 100 ml
• Orange zest - 1 teaspoon
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Gluten-free soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped for garnish
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix thoroughly to coat the beef evenly.
2. Add the cornstarch to the bowl and mix until the beef is fully coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated beef strips in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. In a separate saucepan, combine fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Add the crispy beef strips to the saucepan, tossing to coat the beef evenly with the orange sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
