thanks Vicki,

Stir-fry orange zest with fresh ginger

list end

Recipes for beef and broccoli stir-fries may be commonplace,

but this one stands out. Stir-frying orange zest with fresh ginger gives the

sauce extraordinary fragrance and satisfying flavor. This dish provides a

generous quantity of vegetables balanced with lean protein, providing

excellent

nutritional value for the calories. For convenience, you can substitute 4

cups frozen broccoli florets for fresh and 2 1/2 cups frozen pepper stir-fry

mix for the fresh bell pepper and onion.

You Will Need1/2 cup orange juice2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce1

tablespoon oyster-flavored sauce1 tablespoon rice vinegar1 1/2 teaspoons

chile-garlic

sauce or hot red pepper sauce1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch1 tablespoon

vegetable oil12 ounces (340 grams) flank steak, trimmed, halved lengthwise,

and cut

into 1/4-inch (5-millimeter)-thick slices1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger2

teaspoons freshly grated orange zest 3 garlic cloves, minced1 cup sliced

onion

(1 medium)1 pound (450 grams) broccoli crowns, cut into 1-inch

(2.5-centimeter) florets (4 cups)1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into 2- x

1/4-inch (5-centimeter

x 5-millimeter) slivers (1 1/2 cups)

What to Do1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce,

oyster-flavored sauce, vinegar, chile-garlic sauce (or hot sauce) and

cornstarch;

set aside.

2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or stir-fry pan over high

heat. Add half of the steak and cook, without stirring or turning, until

browned

on the underside, about 1 minute. Stir and turn the slices, then cook just

until browned on the other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add

another 1 teaspoon oil, repeat with the remaining steak, and transfer to the

plate.

3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet, then add the ginger,

orange zest, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add

the

onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and bell pepper and

stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook just until

crisp-tender,

about 1 1/2 minutes. Push the vegetables to the outside of the pan. Stir the

reserved sauce, pour into the center of the pan, and cook, stirring, until

glossy and thickened, about 1 minute. Stir the vegetables into the sauce,

return the steak to the skillet, and turn to coat.

TipA zester is the easiest way to remove zest from oranges and lemons. If

you don’t have one, use a vegetable peeler and mince the peels. Or cover a

grater

with plastic wrap and use the side made for grating hard cheese.
