For best results, slice the beef as thinly as possible against the grain. This will maximize tenderness. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spice. If you don't have peanut oil, you can substitute with another high-heat oil like vegetable or canola oil. Freshly grated orange zest is crucial for the best flavor. Avoid using the white pith, as it can be bitter. Be careful not to overcook the beef, as it can become tough. It should be browned and slightly crispy but still tender inside.

01 Step
Recipe View In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of dark sesame oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the beef is coated. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours. This allows the baking soda to tenderize the beef and the flavors to meld. (1-3 hours)
03 Step
Recipe View When ready to cook, heat the peanut oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over high heat. Make sure the wok is very hot before adding the ingredients. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Add the minced garlic, fresh ginger, finely shredded orange zest, and red pepper flakes to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 20-30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant and just begins to brown, being careful not to burn it. (30 seconds)
05 Step
Recipe View Add the marinated beef to the wok. Stir-fry continuously, ensuring the beef cooks evenly and begins to brown and crisp up. This should take approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, thawed orange juice concentrate, rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dark sesame oil, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the wok. Stir continuously to coat the beef evenly. Cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until the sauce has thickened and turned clear, creating a glossy glaze over the beef. (30 seconds)
08 Step
Recipe View Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with extra orange zest or green onions, if desired.
