Instructions
Step 1
Slice steak against the grain into strips. Add to a bowl and marinate with white pepper, light soy sauce, baking soda, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, cornstarch and orange zest for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Mix together the sauce ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch slurry.
Step 3
In a large wok or non-stick pan, add the oil and heat on high. Add the marinated beef and fry until a crust has formed, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and onto a plate to rest. Remove excess oil leaving about 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan.
Step 4
In the remaining oil, saute garlic and ginger for 30 seconds over medium high heat until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the premixed sauce to the pan, and cook over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes until bubbling and slightly reduced. Add the cornstarch slurry and mix for 30-40 seconds until thickened and glossy. Add back the beef to the pan and mix thoroughly until combined. Garnish with orange slices and serve with freshly steamed white rice and enjoy!
