Prep: 10 MIN | Cook: 20 MIN
Total Time: 30 MIN
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut oil
- 1 pound sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
For The Sauce
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
Heat peanut oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine steak and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, tossing to coat and letting the steak absorb the cornstarch. Add remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch before adding to the stockpot.
Step 3
Working in batches, cook steak until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, garlic, ginger, Sriracha and sesame oil until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in steak and gently toss to combine.
Step 5
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.
