Orange Beef

Orange Beef is a delightful kosher Chinese dish featuring tender beef strips coated in a zesty orange sauce. This vibrant dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or impressing guests with its bold flavors.

Ingredients

• Beef flank steak - 250 grams, thinly sliced
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons
• Orange juice - 100 ml, freshly squeezed
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons, kosher
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Zest of 1 orange
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with cornstarch and mix until well coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to tenderize.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and orange zest. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned, flipping halfway through.
4. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the green onions for about 1 minute.
5. Return the beef to the skillet and pour the orange sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the beef is well coated and heated through.
6. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.
