Categories     Beef     Stir-Fry     Dinner     Lunar New Year     Healthy     Tangerine     Chile Pepper     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 (about 1-inch-square) pieces dried tangerine peel
1 orange
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain into 2-inch-long strips
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 dried red chile, seeded and chopped
3 green onions, green and white parts kept separate, chopped into 1/2-inch segments
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon chili bean sauce
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Soak the tangerine peel in warm water for 1 hour to rehydrate, then drain. Peel the orange and use a spoon to scrape away as much of the white pith as possible. Reserve the fruit for another use. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the orange peel in the water for 6 minutes to get rid of any bitterness, and then slice into slivers. Dissolve the cornstarch in a large bowl with the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the rice wine, and ginger. Add the beef and toss so that all the strips are coated, then marinate, covered, in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok over high heat. Tip the contents of the beef bowl into the wok and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until the beef is browned but still slightly pink inside. Take care not to overcook the beef or it will get tough. Remove the beef and any liquid from the wok.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok and when it is hot, add the Sichuan peppercorns, chile, the white parts of the green onions, the tangerine peel, and orange peel, and stir-fry for 45 seconds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of rice wine, the hoisin sauce, chili bean sauce, and sugar and stir for a few seconds. Toss in the beef and the green parts of the green onions and stir until the onions start to wilt. Serve hot.

BEEF SHORT RIBS WITH STAR ANISE AND TANGERINE



Beef Short Ribs with Star Anise and Tangerine image

Beef short ribs, cut flanken style, are the best choice for any number of braises or stews, whether it's Yankee pot roast or French pot-au-feu. Since they have the perfect fat-to-lean ratio, they always remain juicy. Here, a fragrant Chinese-inspired marinade featuring star anise, cinnamon stick, 5-spice powder and tangerine makes them anything but ordinary. Serve these short ribs in a Western manner with mashed root vegetables, or stick with Asian accompaniments like steamed rice and daikon radish.

SPICY TANGERINE BEEF



SPICY TANGERINE BEEF image

Categories     Beef     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tangerines
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons water
3/4 pound boneless sirloin steak, trimmed and thinly sliced
3 cups small broccoli florets
3 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 small red bell pepper, cut into strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Grate the zest from the tangerines; set aside. Peel the tangerines and separate into sections; reserve the sections. Stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of the water in a cup until smooth; set aside. 2. Spray a nonstick wok or large deep nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. When a drop of water sizzles in it, add half of the beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes, using a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef. 3. Add the broccoli and the remaining 2 tablespoons water to the wok; cook, covered, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Add the scallions, bell pepper, garlic, tangerine zest, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper; stir-fry about 1 minute. Stir the cornstarch mixture and add to the wok; stir-fry until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the wok along with the tangerines; stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute longer. TIPS This recipe invites improvising. Thinly sliced and less expensive beef chuck or round, pork tenderloin, shrimp, or firm tofu can stand in for the sirloin steak; yellow peppers can replace red ones; and broccolini, showpeas or asparagus could take the place of the broccoli. Freeze the meat until it just begins to firm up and slicing thinly will be much easier.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tangerines. If you don't have fresh tangerines, you can use canned mandarin oranges, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can substitute oyster sauce or soy sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcook the beef. It should be cooked until it is just tender, but not tough.
  • Serve tangerine beef with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Tangerine beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give tangerine beef a try. You won't be disappointed!
