Fiery Orange Beef Stir-Fry
Yes, another stir-fry. I hear you groaning out there. But stir-fry is very healthy! Veggies! Protein! Carbs!!
Ingredients
1 pound tender beef steak
4 tablespoons Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, divided
1-1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh orange peel
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium carrot, julienned
3 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths, separating whites from tops
Hot cooked rice
Directions
1. Cut beef into thin strips; coat with mixture of 2 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce, 1-1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch and garlic. Let stand 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine remaining 2 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce, 1 tsp. cornstarch, crushed red pepper, orange peel and juice and 1/4 cup water.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in hot wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry 2 minutes; remove.
4. Reduce heat to medium-high; heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same pan. Add carrot and white parts of green onions; stir-fry 1 minute. Add green onion tops; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add beef and teriyaki sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens, about 2 minutes.
Serve with rice.
Verdict: Mark says "yeah," I say "nay." I thought this would be spicy with a hint of orange. Instead it was ORANGE with a little kick. A very small kick. Mostly it was beef smothered with orange juice.
I am the pickiest eater you will ever meet, Mark is the least. So take our review with a grain of salt. I imagine for most people this recipe comes out somewhere in the middle.
