Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 (4 ounce) boneless beef sirloin steaks

Marinade:

  • 2 medium oranges

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • teaspoon ground cloves

Stir-Fry:

  • 7 tablespoons canola oil, divided

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice, warmed

Directions

  1. Slice steaks very thin. Zest one orange; juice both oranges.

  2. Mix orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, ginger, Worcestershire, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and cloves for marinade together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak slices, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

  3. Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade; set aside.

  4. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the steak slices and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, being careful as this will cook quickly. Remove to a heat-proof dish or bowl. Continue cooking steak in the same fashion, using 2 tablespoons oil for every batch.

  5. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and add steak back into the pan. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of reserved marinade and allow to thicken and coat veggies and steak. Serve right away with brown rice.
