Orange Ginger Beef


This is a great quick supper for those very busy soccer nights! We normally make it with a pot of rice or chow-mein. (i can sometimes con the kids into making this for me, which is even more of a bonus!) it's very good and you can add whatever vegetables that appeal to your family! . I got this recipe from the canadian living magazine, (1997) and have made it many, many times!!

Steps


Trim fat from steak.
Slice across the grain in 1 / 8 inch thick strips.
Cut into 2-inch lengths.
Cut carrots into 1 / 4 inch pieces.
Using zester , peel rind of oranges into long , narrow strips.
Squeeze oranges to make 1 / 3 cup of juice.
Whisk together half of the rind , the juice , oyster and soy sauces , sherry , cornstarch and pepper sauce.
In bowl , combine beef with 2 tbs of the sauce and let stand for 20 minutes.
In wok , heat half of the oil over high heat.
Stir fry beef in batches for 1- 2 minutes or until browned but still pink inside.
Transfer to plate.
Add remaining oil , ginger and garlic to wok.
Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 30 seconds or until golden brown.
Add carrots and 1 / 4 cup water.
Cover and cook for 2 more minutes.
Meanwhile , halve snow peas diagonally.
Stir into wok with beef and remaining sauce.
Bring to boil and cook uncovered for 1- 2 minutes or until thickened.
