Servings 6
Cost $17-$20
Ingredients
- 1 capicola, sliced into slices
- 1 big carrot, peeled and sliced into matchsticks
- 1.5 cup pea sugar
- 1 finely chopped tiny onion
- 1 1/2 pounds of sirloin, or thinly cut chuck steaks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Ingredients for salt water:
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil
- four tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from shredded oranges)
- 3 tablespoons grated orange peel, 1 orange, grated
For starters:
- Optional sesame seeds or green onions
Instructions
- In a large mixing basin, combine all of the seasoning ingredients and toss thoroughly.
- Chop the grains and cut the steak into extremely thin pieces. Mix up the steaks with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes while preparing the veggies.
- Rinse and remove the cover from the peas, then finely cut the onion into cubes, followed by the carrots and pepper.
- Over high heat, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or a decent frying pan. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of cooking oil to the heated skillet. Add onions right away (while stirring constantly for 1 minute).
- Reserve the marinade and drain the meat. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes after adding the drained meat. (Note: If you scrape the steak all at once, the pan will cool fast; instead, turn the beef to prevent the liquid from escaping.) Add the remaining sauce to the skillet.
- Continue cooking over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, or until the veggies soften and the sauce thickens. Serve on top of a bed of steaming white rice.
Hi! My sister and I made this recipe today for dinner. It was so good. Anything that we make by you, it always comes out so good 😋Thanks for the recipe! We served it over brown rice, and added broccoli into the dish as well.
This was delicious! We switched out the snap peas for some bok choy from our CSA. So flavorful and the beef was tender. Thanks for another great recipe!!
Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I came across it today and we just finished it. Will never have to search again for a beef stir-fry – it was amazing!
Is it possible to use frozen stir fry vegetables?
I came across this recipe and tried it tonight. It was absolutely yummy! I did add some red pepper flakes for a little kick, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.
Hi! Can I substitute grapefruit juice for orange juice?
Made it tonight and it was great! Will try with venison next time.
So good!! Not a drop left! I used skirt steak because my butcher didn’t have flank and it was delicious!
