Soy-Free Orange Beef with Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin
• 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
• 1/2 cup Orange juice
• 1 tbsp Orange zest
• 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 4 cups Rice

Instructions

1. 1Slice the 1 lb Beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Place all of the beef strips into a medium bowl and toss them with the 2 tbsp Tapioca starch until each strip is evenly coated.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Orange juice, 1 tbsp Orange zest, 2 tbsp Coconut aminos, 1 tbsp Rice vinegar, 2 tbsp Honey, 1 tsp Ginger, and the 2 cloves of Garlic (minced). Set this orange sauce mixture aside.
3. 3Heat the 1 tbsp Sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. The temperature should be approximately 375°F (190°C).
4. 4Carefully add the 1 lb of coated beef strips to the hot skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry the beef for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature of the beef should reach 160°F (71°C).
5. 5Pour the prepared orange sauce mixture over the beef in the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce visibly thickens and becomes glossy, coating all the beef.
6. 6While the sauce is thickening, prepare the 4 cups of Rice by warming it gently until it is hot and fluffy, ready for serving.
7. 7Sprinkle the 1 tbsp Sesame seeds over the beef and sauce mixture in the skillet. Stir everything together to combine the seeds evenly.
8. 8Serve the Soy-Free Orange Beef immediately, spooning it directly over the prepared 4 cups of Rice.
