How to Make Beef With Oranges
- In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the beef steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the sliced oranges and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using) to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Return the steaks to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
- If desired, stir in cayenne pepper or sriracha for extra heat.
- Serve immediately, spooning the orange sauce over the steak. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
