Crispy Orange Beef

Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups oil for frying
¼ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons orange zest
8 broccoli florets, lightly steamed or blanched
2 cups water
1 cup long grain rice

Directions:

Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer
until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, and salt in a
small bowl. Set aside.

Toss sliced beef in cornstarch to coat. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Fry coated beef
in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain oil from the wok,
leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add ginger, garlic, and orange zest to remaining oil in wok. Cook and
stir briefly until fragrant. Pour in soy sauce mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thick and
syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Stir in fried beef and cook until heated through.

Serve hot over steamed rice and garnish with broccoli.
