How to Make Citrus Beef Stir Fry
- Zest one orange using a microplane or fine grater, reserving 1 tablespoon of zest.
- Juice both oranges (about 1/2 cup juice). In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 tablespoons sherry, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
- Slice 1 pound beef sirloin thinly (1/8 inch thick) across the grain. Add beef to the marinade.
- Marinate beef for at least 5 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Remove beef from marinade; set aside. Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch into the remaining marinade.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of oil.
- Stir-fry beef in batches until lightly browned. Remove from wok and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add 2 cups chopped celery, 1 cup bean sprouts, and 1 cup snow peas. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until bright green.
- Pour the cornstarch-marinade mixture into the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Add the cooked beef back to the wok. Toss to combine and coat evenly. Remove from heat immediately.
- Serve immediately over rice and garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
