For best results, use fresh orange juice and zest. The flavor will be much brighter and more vibrant. Adjust the amount of chili paste to your desired level of spiciness. A little goes a long way! Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the beef. Work in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Garnish with extra green onions and orange zest for added visual appeal.
