• 1 lb Beef sirloin
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Orange juice

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips approximately 1/4 inch thick. Pat the beef dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season the beef slices with salt and black pepper, then toss in a bowl with cornstarch to evenly coat each piece.

Step 3

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Whisk until well blended.

Step 5

Drain off excess oil from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Pour the orange sauce mix into the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let the sauce cook for 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the crispy beef strips to the skillet, tossing them in the orange glaze to ensure each piece is well coated.
