By jan_ice

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef loin or sirloin, cut into thin strips
• • 1 cup orange juice
• • 1/4 cup soy sauce
• • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Red Pepper
• • 4 teaspoons Sesame Seed, toasted*, divided
• • 6 cups sliced vegetables (broccoli, sugar snap peas, onion, or red bell pepper)
• • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• • 1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Place meat in self-closing plastic bag.

Combine orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder and red pepper.

Reserve half of the marinade; pour remaining marinade over steak.

Marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes.

Sauté beef and 3 teaspoons toasted sesame seed in hot oil in a large skillet over high heat about 3 minutes or until beef is browned.

Remove beef from skillet and keep warm.

Add vegetables and cook and stir until crisp tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Combine reserved marinade with cornstarch and sugar.
Add to skillet and bring to a boil.

Return beef to skillet. Stir and heat through.

Top with remaining 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed and serve over rice, if desired.

*Toasting Sesame Seed: Heat seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until seeds are golden-brown and fragrant. Pour out of hot pan to avoid over-toasting.
