Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 120 milliliters orange juice
- 60 milliliters soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but crisp.
Pour the orange sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the orange zest and red chili flakes (if using) for an extra kick.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
