Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 250 grams broccoli florets
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain and place in a bowl.
In the bowl, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, and the cornstarch. Mix well, ensuring the beef is coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of orange juice, orange zest, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir fry for 2–3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir fry for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet along with the sauce mixture. Stir fry for 2–3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the stir fry from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Serve immediately over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
