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.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I substituted tangerines in this recipe. It turned out great! The tangerine sauce was still tangy and flavorful, and the beef was tender and juicy.

The tangerine beef was a bit bland for my liking. I think it needed more garlic and ginger.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best tangerine beef he's ever had.
