  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb beef sirloin (thinly sliced), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Toss well to coat.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the zest of 1 orange, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce until smooth.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the beef mixture and 1/2 cup sliced onions to the skillet.
  7. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until beef is lightly browned.
  8. Pour the orange juice mixture over the beef, stirring constantly.
  9. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and become glossy, stirring frequently.

  11. **Cucumber Salad:** Thinly slice 1 cucumber and toss with 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
