{ RECIPE :: Light Orange Beef and Broccoli }

You might've noticed already that most of the recipes I make are chicken dishes. Partly because my husband and I love poultry, but mostly because they're always the easiest! Well, here's a dish that's just as easy and super delicious! Only this recipe doesn't call for chicken, but rather a tender juicy cut of beef! We loved this awesome meal and will be adding it to our rotation amongst all those delicious chicken dishes.

INGREDIENTS:
juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup beef broth
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
1 lb. flank steak, very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 head broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix the first 6 ingredients, whisking until the cornstarch is dissolved. Boil the broccoli for just a few minutes, until tender crisp. The broccoli will cook a little more once you add it in with the sauce, so make sure not to boil it for too long.

2. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steak and garlic, draining off extra fat after a few minutes. Flip the pieces until each piece is cooked through and the meat is browned.

3. Add the sauce to the pan and stir for 1 minute until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in broccoli. Serve over rice and garnish with orange zest and/or scallions.

yes. I will be adding this to next weeks menu. I too primary stick to chicken. Question, what is marmalade and where in the store will I find it?

The Lambpires: this comes a couple months after your question, but just in case you haven't yet figured it out, marmalade is a citrus fruit preserve, and you'll find it in the jelly and jam section. I just picked up a jar yesterday to make this recipe, and am looking forward to enjoying the remaining marmalade on toast. :)
