ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Heat oil in a small sauce pan set over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add ginger, jalapeño and orange zest and stir to combine. Sauté mixture until ingredients soften, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then add garlic and continue cooking until it softens, approximately 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauce to pan and stir to combine. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by half, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the meat: Combine egg white, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Add steak, tossing to coat the meat with the batter.
• In a large skillet or wok set over high heat, heat oil until it shimmers and is about to smoke.

Add white pieces of scallion and chiles to the pan, then turn the beef pieces over and cook the other sides, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
• Pour orange sauce into the hot pan or wok, let it boil and stir it as it thickens. Add meat and white scallions and stir to coat with the sauce. Return meat and sauce to the platter and scatter green scallions over the top. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice.

CRISPY ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying. Pat the beef dry with some kitchen roll, then mix the cornflour with the salt and pepper and toss the beef in the cornflour until completely coated. When the oil is hot, tip the beef in and fry until crispy. I try not to move the meat around too much as this seems to reduce the amount of crispiness you get. It generally takes about 9 or 10 minutes to crisp up the beef, with about 3 or 4 stirs during that time. Some people would say to crisp the beef in batches, but I'm far too lazy for all that, and so long as you're using a large pan, and very hot oil you can get away with doing the lot in one go. Once the beef is crispy and cooked through, remove the beef using a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl lined with kitchen roll to soak up excess fat.
• Whilst the beef is cooking, mix the orange juice, zest, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and rice vinegar and put to one side.
• After the beef has been removed from the pan there should still be a little oil left. Turn the heat down a little and add the sliced red pepper and onion. Fry for a minute or two (so they're hot but still crunchy), then pour over the orange sauce. Turn up the heat and bring to the boil, then add the beef back in. Give it a stir and heat through for 1 minute. If your sauce is looking too thin, you can stir in a little bit of cornflour mixed with cold water to thicken.
• Once bubbling and thick, serve up with boiled rice. Garnish with the spring onions/scallions.

SLOW COOKER ORANGE AND GINGER BEEF STEW

Steps:

• If you didn't buy pre-cut meat, start by trimming any excess fat from beef and cut into cubes.
• In a large slow-cooker (this is the one I use), combine beef, onion, garlic, ginger, orange marmalade, sugar, five-spice, orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, and broth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until beef is tender.
• Whisk cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir into slow cooker. Stir in bok choy.
• Cover and cook on high for about 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened and boy choy is wilted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve over rice and top with scallions and cilantro.

ORANGE GINGER GARLIC BEEF

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
• Dust each piece of beef in the corn starch and pan fry for two minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan. Keep the beef in a single layer. Once done, remove to a plate and fry the next batch. You might need to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan after each batch. Set the beef aside when all fried. This will take about 30 minutes from start to finish.
• In the meantime, whisk together the cornstarch, orange juice, orange zest, molasses, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
• Do not clean the skillet. Pour the juice mixture into the hot skillet and use a wooden spoon to scrape the stuck on beef bits off the bottom of the pan. This process is referred to de-glazing and is often done using wine, but acidic juice works very well. This will take about one minute.
• The sauce will begin to thicken. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sesame seeds and add the beef back to the pan. Toss to coat. Allow to cook for 3 minutes.
• Add the green onions. Toss and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Serve immediately. Use fresh chopped green onions and more sesame seeds for garnish.

ORANGE-GINGER GRILLED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Combine the orange juice, brown sugar, tamari, peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, the anise and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Strain and let cool.
• Grill the short ribs: Toss the ribs with 1/2 cup of the glaze, reserving the remaining glaze for brushing. Set aside the ribs at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the ribs from the glaze, shaking off the excess. Brush with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the ribs, brushing occasionally with the reserved glaze, until nicely charred but still pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side.
• Make the scallion-peanut relish: Combine the peanuts, scallions, brown sugar, allspice and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt. Transfer the ribs to a platter and top with the relish.
