Orange Beef



This recipe was tasty! I was nervous about it being too spicy but took the chance and put as much in as they told me. I was disappointed to find that it didn't have any heat at all. would go so far as to call it mild. So if you want the heat, I might double the red pepper.

I bought pre-cut broccoli to save myself at least one step, but the chopping of the fresh garlic and ginger ate up a lot of time. I think I am going to buy the stuff that is pre-chopped to save myself 20 minutes! 

I used a wok, and I really should have used the pan they suggested because it all blobbed together and I ended up over cooking the meat.

The oranges were juicy, but we ended up supplementing with juice from the carton. If only I had bought the extra orange! (Also, I peeled the orange after getting the rind- which was a mistake and we had to squish the orange to the the juice...)

I think I will make this again, it was fairly easy and good.

  1. Did you eat the fried orange peel? I was confused whether that was for eating or just for garnish... I'm planning to cook this soon!

  2. So glad you tried this! I thought the orange peel was amazing- a bit like candy!
