Ingredients

• 450 grams beef sirloin
• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 120 milliliters orange juice
• 60 milliliters soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but crisp.

Step 7

Pour the orange sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the orange zest and red chili flakes (if using) for an extra kick.

Step 9

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
