Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 0.5 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tsp Orange zest
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (toasted for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and orange zest to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, add half of the sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed. Set aside the cooked beef.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the sesame oil to the skillet. Pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and fully glazed.

Step 8

Serve the Orange Beef Teriyaki over steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
