Ingredients

  • 3 oranges
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup long-grain brown rice
  • ¼ cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sugar marmalade
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • cooking spray
  • ¾ pound beef shoulder tender, cut into bite-size strips
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 carrot, julienned into 2-inch pieces
  • 6 green onions, bias-sliced into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1
Remove 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice from 1 orange. Peel and section remaining 2 oranges.

Step 2
Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

Step 3
Stir together zest, orange juice, broth, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, marmalade, sesame oil, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in cornstarch.

Step 4
Coat a wok or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry beef until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add vegetable oil and carrot to the wok; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add green onions and bell pepper; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds more.

Step 5
Return beef to the wok. Stir cornstarch mixture, then add to the wok. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Add orange sections; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.

Step 6
Divide rice among 4 plates; top with beef mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cook’s Note:

If you can't find beef shoulder tender, choose another lean cut, such as top sirloin.
