Orange Ginger Beef

Recipe

Title: ORANGE GINGER BEEF
Categories: Chinese, Beef
Yield: 6 servings

2 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Shao Hsing wine
2 ts Cornstarch
2 ts Vegetable oil
3/4 lb Beef steak, thinly sliced
Orange Sauce:
1/4 c Thawed undiluted frozen
Orange juice concentrate
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Soy sauce
2 tb Vegetable oil
5 Thin slices fresh ginger
1 ts Cornstarch mixed with water
Marinade:
Orange slices for garnish

Place a wok or wide frying pan over high heat until
hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add ginger
slices and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 5
seconds. Add beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until
barely pink. Add sauce and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until
sauce boils and thickens. Garnish with orange slices.

[Personal note: this would probably be quite pretty
with thin orange peel curls, rather than, or in
addition to, orange slices.]
