Description

This vibrant Orange Beef dish delivers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. Thinly sliced top round steak is coated in a light egg white batter and fried until crisp, then tossed in a glossy sauce infused with fresh orange rind, dried red chilies, and sherry. The result is tender meat with a satisfying crunch and a bright citrus aroma that cuts through the richness. It is a quick, restaurant-quality meal that comes together in under 30 minutes, making it ideal for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Serve it hot over steamed jasmine rice to soak up every drop of the flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Whisk together the sherry, cornstarch, and egg whites in a bowl until the mixture is foamy and smooth.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the batter and toss gently to coat each piece evenly. Let it marinate for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat 4 tablespoons of peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully add the coated beef slices to the hot oil, ensuring they are in a single layer. Fry quickly until crispy and browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the fried beef from the wok and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil to the wok. Add the orange rind and dried red chile peppers.
  7. Stir-fry the aromatics until the orange rind begins to darken and releases its fragrance, about 30 seconds.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef stock, soy sauce, sugar, remaining cornstarch, and red wine vinegar.
  9. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok. Stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.
  10. Return the fried beef to the wok and toss gently to coat all pieces with the sauce.
  11. Season with fresh ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
