Instructions
- Remove the beef from the fridge and set out at room temp while you make the sauce. Place the orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Heat 1/2 Tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef and season with the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper. Press the meat into an even layer and cook undisturbed until the bottom is brown and crisped, about 4 minutes. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon, then press it into the pan to help it brown. Cook until well-browned and crisp all around, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a large paper towel lined plate.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil around the pan. Add the orange zest, onion, and red pepper, and cook, stirring until slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Rewhisk the sauce, pour into the pan, and stir to coat the vegetables. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan and stir to combine. Serve over rice and top with scallions. Enjoy!
