    Directions

    For the beef: Heat a wok over high heat and fill halfway up with peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F, or until a cube of bread turns golden brown in 15 seconds and floats to the surface.

    Place the beef strips in a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Toss until the beef has absorbed the cornstarch. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch right before frying and toss to coat.

    Fry the beef in 2 to 3 batches until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with sea salt.

    For the sauce: Set another wok or saute pan over high heat and add the soy sauce, chili sauce and orange juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until it becomes thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss the beef in the sauce to coat thoroughly.

    Serve over a bed of the shredded lettuce and sliced cucumber that has been sprinkled with rice vinegar. Then garnish with the scallions and orange zest.

      This was the first time I tried this recipe and it was fabulous! I added 1 tablespoon of sambal oelek chili paste for an extra spicy kick and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Instead of shredded romaine, I put some Asian slaw on each plate and added the rice vinegar, what a excellent compliment to the dish! This will definitely be going into the rotation

      Really easy to make the beef - couldn't believe how tender the meat was. I only left it to fry for 4mins and it was cooked to perfection : It does look a little odd before you add it to the sauce but then it looks seriously professional-better than anything ive had from a take away before!!

      I loved this so much and am now craving it weekly. No rice or noodles and that was just fine. Love the texture and flavor. Very satisfying!
