Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water. Stir in fresh orange zest and set aside for later.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. If needed, add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli for 1 minute.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared orange sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and fully coats the beef and broccoli.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry and mix well. Remove from heat.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with additional orange zest or sesame seeds if desired.
