Crispy Ginger-Orange Beef
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 8 broccoli florets, lightly steamed or blanched
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients.
2
Arrange the beef in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been lined with paper towels. Permit it to air dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Concurrently, bring water and rice to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
4
Lower the heat to a moderate-low setting, cover it, and simmer until the rice is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
5
Combine sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Set it aside for later use.
6
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Coat the dried beef with cornstarch to cover it evenly.
7
Fry the coated beef in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set it aside. Remove excess oil from the wok, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
8
Add ginger, garlic, and orange zest to the remaining oil in the wok.
9
Cook and stir briefly until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce mixture; bring it to a boil and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
10
Stir in the fried beef and cook until heated through.
11
Serve hot over steamed rice and garnish with broccoli.
