Irresistible Crispy Beef in Orange Sauce: Sweet, Sticky, and Bursting with Flavor

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Juice and zest of 2 oranges (fresh for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha (optional)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Extra orange zest
  • Steamed jasmine rice or noodles
  • Stir-fried broccoli, bok choy, or snap peas

Instructions

  1. Slice beef thinly across the grain. Toss with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Drain any excess liquid. Sprinkle cornstarch over the beef and mix until evenly coated.
  3. Heat oil in a wok or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry beef in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until crispy and golden. Drain on a rack.
  4. In a clean pan, combine orange juice, zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Simmer 3–4 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until thick and glossy.
  5. Add the crispy beef to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and extra orange zest.
  6. Enjoy immediately with rice or noodles while the beef is still crispy.
