    Happy Dinner Making!!

  • Spicy Orange Beef Recipe

    Spicy Orange Beef made with juicy and tender slices of steak coated in an orange garlic-ginger sauce in just 30 minutes! Hints of orange and a touch of heat dress up a classic combination. This stir-fry is a good weekday dinner recipe.

    No need to buy Chinese take out when it’s so quick and easy to make at home. This Spicy Orange Beef has a delicious flavor all its own and without a heavy coating of breading.There are three classic cooking methods for most takeout Chinese food. First is deep fried food with a breading like  Sweet and Sour Chicken. Second is a pan fry with a cornstarch coating to keep the food crispy but without the breading like in this recipe. Third is your classic stir fry.

    If you’ve ever wondered how Chinese food recipes get a crisp coating without the breading, the magic is usually a soak in soy sauce that is then coated in cornstarch. When the cornstarch is fried it gets very crispy and btw, delicious! My family enjoyed this recipe  The sauce gets a rich flavor from the browned beef, and the orange marmalade  really brightens the sauce. I reduced the red pepper flakes in the recipe below because it was too spicy for my family, and we like things spicy. If your family doesn’t like it very spicy, I would reduce it to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

    Some tips and tricks:

    • If you don’t want to use orange marmalade you can swap out for some orange juice and zest.
    • Don’t cook the steak for too long, it will get tough. High heat for a very short period of time on each side.
    • Don’t crowd the pan. The beef needs to get crisp and if you add it at one time it’ll steam and get gummy instead.
    • If you want a richer deeper sesame flavor, add a teaspoon of sesame oil in with the orange juice.

    Here’s your go-to, foolproof, Spicy Orange Beef recipe you’ll never want to be without.
