How to make Orange Beef

Tips from the cook

  • Slice the beef thinly, so it cooks fast and turns crisp.
  • Fry in small batches at 190 °C, as crowding the oil lowers the temperature and makes the beef greasy.
  • Wait until the sauce has thickened before adding the beef.
  • Toss the beef in the sauce only at the end, as the coating softens quickly.
  • Zest the orange before you juice it.
