Description

A healthier way to do takeout.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Orange Zest
  • 2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cups Beef Broth
  • ⅓ cups Orange Marmalade
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 head Fresh Broccoli, Washed And Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 1 pound Flank Steak, Very Thinly Sliced Against The Grain
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • Optional Garnish: Orange Zest And/or Chopped Scallions
  • 4 cups Cooked Rice, More Or Less As Desired, For Serving

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients (orange juice through cornstarch), whisking until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli into the boiling water and cook it for just a few minutes, until it’s tender crisp. The broccoli will cook a little more once you add it in with the sauce, so make sure not to boil it for too long. When it’s done, drain off the water and set broccoli aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steak and garlic, and cook it, draining off extra fat after a few minutes if needed. Flip the pieces of meat until each piece is cooked through and the meat is browned.

Add the sauce to the pan and stir for 1 minute until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in broccoli.

Serve over rice and garnish with orange zest and/or scallions.

I’ve made this in the past and thought it tasty, so I gave it a whirl again. I had bought stir fry steak strips at the store and they were perhaps not the highest quality. I think it might be useful to marinate the strips in all the sauce components excluding the cornstarch and adding that before cooking. Still, I like the light, citrus-y taste compared to heavy, salty soy sauce alone. I threw in some onions to cook along with the meat, too. Thanks for sharing!

It needed some salt & pepper, and I added extra garlic for a little more zing – but, this was definitely voted a KEEPER by my family – THANKS!
