Today's post is quite a tummy tickler with LOTS of bold, zesty tastes. I really like how bright the meal is as well with all sorts of different colours. Jeremy tells me that he now really likes this blog because it means that he's eating well :) One little tip with this meal is the beef. We always buy a roast and cut it in to 5-6 different meal-sized portions... that way it goes much further.
Bon appétit! Ingredients
- 1 pound beefsteak, cut into thin strips
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel + remainder of orange cut in to thin slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 small sweet red pepper, cut into strips
- 3 tbs. picante sauce (or tabasco)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- Sliced almonds, optional
- Hot cooked rice or egg noodles
Directions
- Toss meat with soy sauce, ginger and orange peel; set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet on high. Stir-fry mixture just until meat is no longer pink; remove. Add broccoli, pepper, picante sauce and sugar to skillet. Cover; reduce heat to simmer. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
- Combine cornstarch and orange juice until smooth; add to skillet along with meat and onions. Cook and stir 1 minute or until sauce is thickened. Sprinkle with almonds and orange slices if desired. Serve with rice or noodles.
