How to Make Orange Ginger Beef

Trim fat from 1 lb beef sirloin steak and slice across the grain into 1/8-inch thick strips. Cut into 2-inch lengths.
Peel and cut carrots into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest 2 large oranges, reserving long, narrow strips of zest. Juice oranges to yield about 1/3 cup of juice.
In a small bowl, whisk together half of the orange zest, orange juice, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, and pepper sauce. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the beef strips with 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce. Marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry beef in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant and golden brown.
Add the carrots and 1/4 cup of water to the wok. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the snow peas.
Add the cooked beef and the remaining sauce to the wok. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with the remaining orange zest before serving over rice or noodles.
