Recipe: Citrus Beef with Scallions

This recipe came from C in DC via email. The subject line was simply, yum. I would tend to agree. The recipe appears here.

Citrus Beef with Scallions

• 1 lb of sirloin cut into strips
• the zest of 1 orange and juice of 2 oranges
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• the white of scallions, sliced thinly
  

Combine this all into a small bowl and marinated the beef for about two hours in the fridge.

Heat a large skillet with a little oil. I added the beef (keep the marinade) and cook for about five minutes. Remove the beef to a plate.

Add:

• the greens of a bunch of scallions, cut into about 1 1/2 inches
• a handful of shredded carrots
• sliced zucchini

Cook for about two minutes, until the scallions are wilted. Remove the veggies to a the plate with the beef. Add the marinade to the pan and boil, reduce by half. Add about a tablespoon of brown sugar. Throw everything back in the skillet and cook for about a minute. Serve over the rice.
