Photo: Tangerine Beef with Scallions Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef tri-tip steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 tangerine
- 4 scallions, sliced, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped peeled ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons orange preserves
Directions
Pierce the steak with a fork several times on each side. Remove a 2-inch strip of zest from the tangerine, halve the fruit and squeeze the juice into a resealable plastic bag. Add the zest, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/4 cup water to the bag and mix well. Add the meat, seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the broiler with a broiler pan in place. Remove the steak from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pat the meat dry and place on the preheated broiler pan. Cook, without turning, until the meat is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130 for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing; reserve the drippings.
Meanwhile, boil the marinade in a small pot over medium-high heat until slightly thickened. Stir in the orange preserves and the drippings from the meat. Slice the meat against the grain and top with scallions. Serve with the sauce.

I couldn't find the tri tip so I used flank steak..other than that I followed the recipe exactly. My boyfriend loved it, he would've eaten the whole thing if I let him. I personally thought there was not enough flavor even though I marinated it for about 24 hours. The dipping sauce did make up for it though. But then, I used the same marinade on some chicken breast.....OMMGGGG IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I cooked the chicken on my grill pan and it turned out to be very flavorful and moist. Can't wait for summer grilling now.

delicious! i had trouble finding orange preserves, so i used orange marmalade instead. i don't suggest this, as it gave it a taste that was a little too bitter. the store had mandarin preserves, which i probably should've used instead. oh well. that's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. since it was my fault, i should probably split the last star and say 4.5 (:

I have tried a recipe similar to this one, and with my family it has always been a huge hit; I decided to give this one a try and I LOVED it!! As did my family, we all agreed it was better than the other recipe, the preserves were a great addition and I will definitely be making this one again!
