[22/365] Ginger-Orange Beef with Rice Noodles

I got this recipe from "Classic Main Courses," a cute cookbook I got from Goodwill for $1.99.

 

Ingredients:

1 lb beef, cut into thin strips (I just used "beef stew meat")

Juice and zest of 1 orange

1 tsp soy sauce (I use Bragg's)

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp ground ginger (or a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, finely chopped)

2 tsp sesame oil

1 large carrot, cut into thin strips (a mandoline works best)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

 

Directions:

 

Marinate beef in OJ and zest for 30 mins.

 

Pour off and set aside lilquid from the meat; stir soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger into the meat.

 

Stir-fry the beef in the sesame oil for a couple minutes; add carrot and fry for a couple more minutes; add green onions and reserve liquid and cook until reduced.

 

Serve with rice or rice noodles and spicy rooster sauce.
