Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.33 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 2 stalks scallions
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 4 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain and place the slices in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the steak and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and orange zest. This will be your sauce.
Prepare all vegetables: thinly slice the red bell pepper, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, peel and julienne the carrot, and chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated flank steak in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the steak back into the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef and vegetables.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over cooked white rice for a vibrant and flavorful meal.
