Beef With Oranges Recipes

ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Heat oil in a small sauce pan set over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add ginger, jalapeño and orange zest and stir to combine. Sauté mixture until ingredients soften, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then add garlic and continue cooking until it softens, approximately 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauce to pan and stir to combine. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by half, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the meat: Combine egg white, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Add steak, tossing to coat the meat with the batter.
• In a large skillet or wok set over high heat, heat oil until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Add beef to the pan or wok in a single layer and cook without stirring until the bottoms of the pieces are crisp and golden, approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Add white pieces of scallion and chiles to the pan, then turn the beef pieces over and cook the other sides, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
• Pour orange sauce into the hot pan or wok, let it boil and stir it as it thickens. Add meat and white scallions and stir to coat with the sauce. Return meat and sauce to the platter and scatter green scallions over the top. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice.

SESAME-ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• To make the marinade, combine 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch and soy sauce in a bowl and mix well. Add the beef and stir to coat evenly. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• To make the sauce, combine the orange juice, oyster sauce, honey and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a small bowl and stir until honey dissolves. Set aside.
• In a small frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until lightly colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately pour onto a plate to cool.
• Place a stir-fry pan over high heat until hot. Add the oil, swirling to coat on all sides. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the beef and stir-fry until caramelized on the edges and still slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.

CRISPY ORANGE BEEF

ORANGE-BEEF STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Slice steaks very thin. Zest one orange; juice both oranges.
• Mix orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, ginger, Worcestershire, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and cloves for marinade together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak slices, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the steak slices and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, being careful as this will cook quickly. Remove to a heat-proof dish or bowl. Continue cooking steak in the same fashion, using 2 tablespoons oil for every batch.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and add steak back into the pan. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of reserved marinade and allow to thicken and coat veggies and steak. Serve right away with brown rice.

BEEF WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Once all the ingredients are prepped and assembled, this goes very quickly, so if you're serving rice and a green vegetable on the side (as I did, I used broccoli), make sure you have all that under control before you start this.
• First, zest one of the oranges into a small bowl, then squeeze its juice into the same bowl; add the garlic and soy into the bowl, lightly stir, then set aside.
• A little minced fresh ginger added to the garlic mixture would be excellent, too, as would some garlic-chili sauce or a little tabasco or cayenne pepper.
• Now take the two remaining oranges and with a sharp paring knife, peel the oranges then slice crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, then halve the slices.
• Pick out and discard any seeds from the orange slices, then set the oranges aside.
• This is not a recipe in which to use a lesser cut of meat, go for the sirloin or perhaps rib eye; I used new york striploin steak since my grocery store had them on sale.
• Slice steak, against the grain, into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then toss with the cornstarch.
• Slice the green onions into 1-inch lengths (the original recipe called for the green parts only, but I used the whole thing, with the white parts cut thinly) and set aside.
• Now you're ready to cook; heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok, over high heat.
• Working in batches (add more oil if needed), brown beef; it takes about 3 to 5 minutes per batch.
• Transfer browned beef to a plate.
• Pour the juice mixture into the skillet and keeping the heat at high, let it boil for about one minute, or until it's syrupy.
• Return beef to skillet along with the orange slices and the green onions.
• Toss until everything is coated with the sauce and the oranges have heated through (about a minute or so); serve hot.
