ORANGE PEEL BEEF

I came up with this by attempting to duplicate a dish at a local Chinese restaurant. An Asian friend told me that Asian chefs often use baking soda as a meat tenderizer. My family thinks it tastes even better than the original.

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb flank steak
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg
6 tablespoons flour
2 -4 cups oil (for deep frying)
10 dried red chili peppers (depending on your heat preference)
1/4 cup dried orange peel or 1/4 cup tangerine peel
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon catsup
4 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon orange extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine sauce ingredients. Set aside. Cut beef into thick slices and pound until 3/8 inch thick. Marinate in soy sauce and sugar 10 minutes. Add egg and flour, mix with hand.
  • Heat oil for deep frying. Slide beef into oil piece by piece to prevent sticking together. Fry until crispy. Remove. Fry again. Drain. Remove.
  • Reheat 2 tablespoons oil in wok. Stir fry chili peppers and orange peel until "black". Add sauce. Bring to boil. Thicken with dissolved cornstarch. Add beef. Stir-fry 1 minute more. Remove peppers prior to serving. Close your windows, eat and moan.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the orange peels into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will cause the beef to steam and not brown properly.
  • Cook the beef in batches if necessary. This will help to ensure that all of the beef is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcook the beef. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Add the orange peel and sauce to the beef in the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent the orange peel from becoming too chewy.
  • Serve the orange peel beef over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Orange peel beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The orange peel adds a bright and citrusy flavor to the beef, and the sauce is rich and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
