Ingredients

  • 3 cups white rice
  • 1 1/4 pounds beef chuck steak
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon peeled and chopped ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets, stems sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Directions

Cook the white rice according to package directions. Reserve 2 cups cooked rice for the online round 2 recipe, Beef Fried Rice.

Thinly slice the chuck steak, about 1/4-inch thick, across the grain. Cut the slices into 3-inch long strips.

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Toss the beef in the cornstarch and shake off excess. Fry the beef in 2 batches in the hot oil, turning once, until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside on paper towel lined plate. Carefully drain the oil from the wok or skillet.

In a medium bowl add the marmalade, garlic, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and orange juice and whisk until well combined. Add to the wok, over high heat, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, reserving about 1 1/2 cups for round 2 recipe, Wonton Soup and online round 2 recipe, Beef Fried Rice. Cook the broccoli until slightly tender and the sauce is thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the beef, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the white rice. Reserve any leftovers for online round 2 recipe, Beef Fried Rice.

    The first time I made this, I made it with beef but it came out really tough and we didn't think there was enough sauce to go with the rice. However, I made this a second time with pork tenderloin, doubled the sauce (thickened with a little cornstarch, added a red bell pepper and a can of water chestnuts and it really came out amazing! It's great how easily customizable this recipe is.

    This recipe is great. I had given up on Chinese Take Out due to high sodium and additives. This recipe was quick and delicious. I look forward to trying it with chicken.

    This recipe is WONDERFUL! I did cheat and use N.Y. strip steak as I wanted a better cut of beef. The flavor is very good. Often recipes for homemade Chinese food are pretty sad, but not this one. I would up portion of meat to 2 pounds to serve 4 hungry people, especially for men. If you like a lot of sauce to put over rice, prepare another 1/2 of the sauce recipe.
    Way to go, Sandra!
