Steps:
- With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully pare wide strips of zest from one of the oranges. Cut zest into 1-inch strips and set aside. Squeeze juice from all the oranges into a small bowl (for about 3/4 cup). Add soy sauce, rice wine (or sherry), cornstarch and sugar and stir to combine; set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add beef and stir-fry just until no longer pink on the outside, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and heat until very hot. Add garlic, ginger, chiles and the reserved orange zest; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli and water. Cover and steam, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the broccoli sizzles, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute more.
- Stir the reserved orange sauce and pour it into the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring; cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add scallion greens and the reserved beef and toss to coat with sauce; heat through.

ORANGE BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
There's a lot of similarly titled recipes on this site, but none quite like this. This came from one of those "make ahead" cookbooks and is great for a quick weeknight meal. The orange marmalade is the key. Can be put together and frozen for later.

Steps:
- If desired, place the meat in the freezer until partially frozen for easier slicing. Trim fat and thinly slice meat across the grain into bite-size strips(the thinner the better).
- Toss together meat strips, marmalade, hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and garlic.
- Cook broccoli in a medium saucepan until crispy tender. Drain and cool.
- Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add meat mixture to hot wok. Stir-fry for 4-6 minutes or to desired doneness. Add cooked broccoli and heat through.
- Can be served over steamed rice.
- FREEZE AHEAD: Place all ingredients, except broccoli, in a freezer bag and freeze up to 2 months. I usually separate it into 2 bags to make 2 meals since it serves 8.

It's your favorite take-out dish, but made exactly to your liking. And just like the classic Chinese-American dish, this recipe works great as leftovers when reheated in a microwave or over the stove. If you want to freshen it up, just chop up and throw in whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, like onions, bell peppers, or even water chestnuts.

ORANGE BEEF STIR FRY
Found this in a magazine and made a few changes to better suit my family. It's great for left over steak or for a quick week night meal. The original recipe called for coating the steak strips with a tablespoon of cornstarch. I skip this because I don't like the way it affects the texture of the meat but it does make for a nice thickened sauce so you may want to try it. You could also use cornstarch in the actual sauce to thicken it. Also, feel free to add onions or mushrooms or any other veggies you prefer.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and broccoli and prevent them from sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you try to cook all of the beef at once, it will not cook evenly. Cook it in batches so that each piece gets a chance to brown.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Make sure to use a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as the orange sauce in this recipe.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The beef and broccoli will start to lose their crispness if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Orange beef and broccoli stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be on the table in under 30 minutes. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook beef and broccoli, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
