Easy Chinese Orange Beef

Chinese Orange Beef

This beef recipe caught my attention because of its simple ingredients and how easy it is to prepare and make. With the exception of the flank steak, I have all the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. With proper slicing and cooking, flank steak is a meat that my family loves to eat.  It is lean and will cook in a matter of minutes. In this recipe, the flank steak pieces were browned first and then toss with an orange/ chili-garlic mixture. The steak was tender and had great flavors. My husband loves it so much; I already made it twice last week. And upon request, I added more grated ginger to the sauce. Simply delicious! Chinese Orange Beef
