ORANGE BEEF
This recipe for takeout-style orange beef is a variation on one the Brooklyn chef Dale Talde included in his new cookbook, "Asian-American: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes From the Philippines to Brooklyn," with a slightly more intensely flavored orange-flavored sauce. Mr. Talde's key insight is protected, however: Use very good steak, and cook it fast, so that below the lovely crust of its egg-white-and-cornstarch batter, the meat remains rare and luscious. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice. And make it a few times. What appears difficult the first time through - the coating of the beef, the making of the sauce, the stir-frying of the aromatics, the stir-frying of the beef - is in fact fast and easy work, and much, much better than takeout.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat oil in a small sauce pan set over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add ginger, jalapeño and orange zest and stir to combine. Sauté mixture until ingredients soften, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then add garlic and continue cooking until it softens, approximately 1 to 2 minutes longer.
- Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauce to pan and stir to combine. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by half, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meat: Combine egg white, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Add steak, tossing to coat the meat with the batter.
- In a large skillet or wok set over high heat, heat oil until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Add beef to the pan or wok in a single layer and cook without stirring until the bottoms of the pieces are crisp and golden, approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Add white pieces of scallion and chiles to the pan, then turn the beef pieces over and cook the other sides, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
- Pour orange sauce into the hot pan or wok, let it boil and stir it as it thickens. Add meat and white scallions and stir to coat with the sauce. Return meat and sauce to the platter and scatter green scallions over the top. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice.

In small bowl, mix marmalade, oil and Sriracha sauce; set aside 3 tablespoons for glazing vegetables. Generously brush some of the remaining marmalade mixture over beef. Reserve remaining mixture.
- Roast beef uncovered 40 minutes, brushing beef occasionally with reserved marmalade mixture. Meanwhile, in another small bowl or cup, mix thyme, salt and pepper. Sprinkle top and sides of beef with 2 teaspoons of the thyme mixture. Place potatoes around beef. Generously brush potatoes with some of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with half of the remaining thyme mixture.
- Roast 45 to 55 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of beef reads 135°F. Place beef on cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F for medium-rare doneness. (Roast to 160°F for medium doneness.)
- Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Arrange asparagus in single layer in pan with potatoes. Brush asparagus with the rest of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with remaining thyme mixture. Roast 7 to 10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
- To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices; arrange on serving platter. Add potatoes and asparagus to platter. Spoon pan drippings over beef.

Steps:

BEEF WITH ORANGES
I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago and my family cleaned the serving platter dry. It's easy to prepare and, because you use quality steak, it's good enough for company too. The next time I make it I think I will add some ginger, and perhaps something to add a little heat, like cayenne pepper or, more likely, a squirt of garlic-chili sauce. Adapted from a recipe from Martha Stewart.

Steps:
- Once all the ingredients are prepped and assembled, this goes very quickly, so if you're serving rice and a green vegetable on the side (as I did, I used broccoli), make sure you have all that under control before you start this.
- First, zest one of the oranges into a small bowl, then squeeze its juice into the same bowl; add the garlic and soy into the bowl, lightly stir, then set aside.
- A little minced fresh ginger added to the garlic mixture would be excellent, too, as would some garlic-chili sauce or a little tabasco or cayenne pepper.
- Now take the two remaining oranges and with a sharp paring knife, peel the oranges then slice crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, then halve the slices.
- Pick out and discard any seeds from the orange slices, then set the oranges aside.
- This is not a recipe in which to use a lesser cut of meat, go for the sirloin or perhaps rib eye; I used new york striploin steak since my grocery store had them on sale.
- Slice steak, against the grain, into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then toss with the cornstarch.
- Slice the green onions into 1-inch lengths (the original recipe called for the green parts only, but I used the whole thing, with the white parts cut thinly) and set aside.
- Now you're ready to cook; heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok, over high heat.
- Working in batches (add more oil if needed), brown beef; it takes about 3 to 5 minutes per batch.
- Transfer browned beef to a plate.
- Pour the juice mixture into the skillet and keeping the heat at high, let it boil for about one minute, or until it's syrupy.
- Return beef to skillet along with the orange slices and the green onions.
- Toss until everything is coated with the sauce and the oranges have heated through (about a minute or so); serve hot.

ORANGE BEEF
A classic from Hunan, chun pei ngau yuk translates as "old beef," very old, or as we say in China, so old it gathers dust. The main reason for this is that this dish is most often cooked with old, dried, hard orange peel, and it is fine that way. I prefer fresh orange peel.

Steps:
- Marinate the beef with baking soda in the refrigerator for 8 hours or, preferably, overnight. After marinating, wash thoroughly, twice, with cold water. Drain and dry with paper towels. Place the beef in a bowl, add the egg white, and mix well until the beef is coated. Add the wine, white pepper, 1 tablespoon peanut oil, and cornstarch, mixing with your hand each time and ingredient is added. Allow to rest for 1 hour, refrigerated. There should be no residue.
- In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat for 1 minute. Add the 3 1/2 cups peanut oil and heat to 400 degrees F. Place the beef strips, one at a time, in the oil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, loosening the beef with a spatula. Remove with a strainer and drain. Heat the oil again to 425 degrees F. Place the beef strips again in the oil and cook for 2 minutes, until the beef becomes crisp. Remove and allow to drain.
- Drain off all but 1 tablespoon oil from the wok and heat over high heat for 20 seconds. Add the dried chilies, stir, and cook until darkened. Add the ginger and garlic and stir briefly. Add the fresh chili and orange peel and stir briefly. Add the scallions, and mix well. Add the beef and cook, stirring, for 45 seconds. Make a well in the center of the mixture, stir the sauce mixture, and pour in. Mix well until the sauce is absorbed and the beef acquires a shiny coating. Remove to a serving dish and serve, garnished with the orange slices.

Top Cooking Recommendations:

Enhance its umami notes with ginger, star anise, and cinnamon. Incorporate fresh cilantro or basil for a vibrant finish. - Keep the perfect color and texture: Lightly cornstarch the meat strips to lock in their juices. Accomplish the ideal caramelizing effect with a cornstarch-based orange ginger-soy glaze. - Don't let the cooking time intimidate you; with a trusty meat thermometer, you can ensure perfect donenness. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-cooked meat. - Garnish with an extra zing: Add a pop of color and freshness by garnishing with orange slices and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.Satisfy Your Cravings: An Irresistible Dish:
