Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (toasted for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and orange zest to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, add half of the sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed. Set aside the cooked beef.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the sesame oil to the skillet. Pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and fully glazed.
Serve the Orange Beef Teriyaki over steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
