Spicy Orange Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully pare wide strips of zest from one of the oranges. Cut zest into 1-inch strips and set aside. Squeeze juice from all the oranges into a small bowl (for about 3/4 cup). Add soy sauce, rice wine (or sherry), cornstarch and sugar and stir to combine; set aside.

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add beef and stir-fry just until no longer pink on the outside, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.

  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and heat until very hot. Add garlic, ginger, chiles and the reserved orange zest; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli and water. Cover and steam, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the broccoli sizzles, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute more.

  • Stir the reserved orange sauce and pour it into the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring; cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add scallion greens and the reserved beef and toss to coat with sauce; heat through.

Tips

Freezing the beef sirloin for 30 minutes makes it easier to cut into very thin slices.

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

  • Mushroom-Swiss Turkey Burgers

  • Ingredients

    Ingredient Checklist

    Directions

    Instructions Checklist
    • Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450 degrees F). Combine oil, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt in a small bowl. Brush portobello caps with the oil mixture; set aside to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

    • Meanwhile, combine ground turkey, Worcestershire, mustard and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Gently mix to incorporate. (Do not overmix.) Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties and set aside.

    • Oil the grill rack (see Tips). Place the mushrooms, cap-side down, on the oiled grill rack. Grill, covered, until just tender, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate; cover to keep warm. Oil the rack again; place the turkey patties on the oiled rack. Grill, covered, until the patties are lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place 1 cheese slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Transfer the patties to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. (If your grill is large enough, grill the portobello caps and the patties at the same time.)

    • Place each patty on the stem side of a portobello cap; top evenly with tomato slices and arugula. Cover with the remaining portobello caps, stem-side down, and serve immediately.

    Tips

    Tips: To prepare portobello mushroom caps, gently twist off the stems of whole portobellos. Using a spoon, scrape off the brown gills from the underside of the mushroom caps. If you prefer, purchase portobello mushroom caps, rather than whole mushrooms.

    Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won't stick. Holding a folded paper towel with tongs, dip it in vegetable oil and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
