Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili-garlic sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 piece Carrot, julienned
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 pieces Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the beef strips dry with a paper towel and toss them with the cornstarch, ensuring an even coat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the sauce. Whisk until combined and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper, cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and julienning the carrot. Set these aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips in a single layer and let them sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the cooked beef and set it aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet or wok. Toss in the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender yet still crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet and pour the prepared sauce into the center. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Add the cooked beef back into the skillet, tossing everything together so the beef and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 8

Drizzle sesame oil over the dish, then stir gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the Spicy Orange Beef with Vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
