Рецепт Chinese Orange Beef
It’s 25 minutes of me complaining of how unproductive I’m being. And 25 minutes of him telling me to shut up and just enjoy it. HA.
No, really. We talk about upcoming movies we want to see (most of which don’t warrant theatre prices), how screwed up our government is and how much we hate politicians (which includes ALL of them), the latest standings in the MLB playoffs (my A’s are going strong!!), remodeling the house (most of which is completely unrealistic), and the funny things our kids say (because, come on, we’re parents.) Paul also shares with me useless information he found on the internet, and I bore him with recipes I want to try. We cover a lot in 25 minutes!
Last week, I told him about this orange beef I was serving for dinner, listing all the ingredients. He said, “Ah, all your favorites.”
Yep.
Chinese Orange Beef
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- • zest from a small orange
- • 1/2 cup orange juice
- • 1/4 cup brown sugar
- • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium or gluten free)
- • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
- • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- • 3/4 pound fresh green beans, ends cut, trimmed into 2-inch pieces
- • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin, sliced thinly with the grain and then into 2-inch wide pieces
- • 2 scallions, chopped
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, ginger, and cornstarch.
In a large nonstick sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the green beans and stir for about 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. With a slotted spoon, transfer them to a large bowl. Pat the sirloin dry with paper towels; add to the pan, spreading the pieces out; let cook, without stirring, for 1 minute. Toss and transfer to the bowl with the green beans.
Give the orange juice mixture a swirl and add it to the pan; cook scraping up any brown bits, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add sirloin and green beans back into the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and the scallions; toss to coat.
Serve over rice.
