Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to create the sauce and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest for a burst of citrus flavor.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired.
