    How to Make this Apple and Orange Salad:

    This apple and orange salad is super easy to make. To make this salad, simply:

    1. Prepare the salad dressing: To make the salad dressing recipe, just whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl (or shake them up in a mason jar) until combined.
    2. Fruit Cutting: Next you need to peel an orange and cut it in small pieces. Then Core the apples and cut them in small pieces as well, equal to the orange pieces.
    3. Toss all of your salad ingredients together: Add the oranges and apples to the bowl with raisins and add about 2/3 of a cup of roughly chopped walnuts to the salad. Drizzle evenly with the dressing, then toss lightly until combined and voila!!
    4. And…serve!  Sprinkle fresh mint leaves and enjoy!  🙂

  • 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.
