Easy Orange Beef Stir Fry {Ready in under 30 minutes}
Description
Beginning with microwaved broccoli steamed until just tender, the dish balances vegetable and protein components efficiently. The beef, seasoned with salt and pepper, is dusted with cornstarch and seared on both sides until browned, forming a flavorful crust. The sauce, whisked from fresh orange juice, beef stock, soy sauce, and cornstarch, thickens quickly when added to the pan, glazing the beef with a bright, tangy, and savory flavor.
The stir fry combines vibrant citrus notes from the orange juice with the savory umami of soy sauce, creating a balanced sauce that clings to the meat and broccoli. Sesame seeds add a mild crunch and aromatic touch. The straightforward method delivers tender, flavorful beef and crisp broccoli in under 30 minutes.
Serving this stir fry hot is best to retain the texture of the broccoli and the sauce’s shine. It works well accompanied by steamed rice or noodles to soak up the flavorful orange sauce.
