Orange Peel Beef

Orange Peel Beef

I came up with this orange peel beef by attempting to duplicate a dish at a local Chinese restaurant. A friend told me that Chinese chefs often use baking soda as a meat tenderizer (called velveting). My family thinks it tastes even better than the original.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange zest
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1
Combine beef, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and baking soda in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate, 1 to 3 hours.

Step 2
Heat peanut oil in a wok or large, nonstick skillet over high heat. Stir in garlic, ginger, orange zest, and red pepper flakes, and cook until garlic begins to brown, 20 to 30 seconds. Add beef; cook and stir until beef begins to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Stir into beef, and cook until sauce has thickened and turned clear, about 30 seconds.
