Beef Strips w/ Orange and Ginger
Marinating the meat for longer will make it more tender, as the marinade will break down and tenderize the flesh. Just before serving, toss the stir-fry with 5ml/1 tsp sesame oil. If you haven't any sesame oil, use flavored chili oil, or a nut oil, such as hazelnut or walnut.
Total time: 20 min
Servings: 2
Equipment: Stove
- 1 lb. Lean Beef Steak | Beef Tenderloin | Beef Sirloin, cut into thin strips
- 1 Oranges, grated and juiced
- 1 tbsp. Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp. Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. Ginger, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. Cooking Oil
- 1 Large Carrots, cut into thin strips
- 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
To Serve
- 1 c. Noodles | Rice
- Place the beef strips in a bowl and sprinkle over the orange rind and juice. If possible, leave to marinate for 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if you can spare the time.
- Drain the liquid from the meat and set aside, then mix the meat with the soy sauce, cornstarch and ginger, making sure the meat is evenly covered.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and add the beef. Stir-fry for 1 minute until lightly colored, then add the carrot strips and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in the spring onions and reserved liquid, then cook, stirring, until boiling and thickened. Serve hot with noodles or rice.
