Instructions
- Prepare the white rice following the instructions on the package. Set aside 2 cups of the cooked rice for the online round 2 recipe, Beef Fried Rice.
- Slice the chuck steak thinly, roughly 1/4-inch thick, cutting against the grain. Then, cut those slices into strips about 3 inches in length.
- Warm the oil in a wok or big skillet on high heat. Coat the beef pieces with cornstarch, shaking away any extra. Cook the beef in two separate batches in the heated oil, flipping once, until it turns crispy and golden brown, around 2 minutes per side. Take the beef out of the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Pour out the oil from the wok or skillet cautiously.
- Combine the orange marmalade, garlic, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, and orange juice in a medium bowl, whisking them together thoroughly. Pour this mixture into the wok over high heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Mix in the broccoli florets and stems, saving about 1 1/2 cups for later use. Continue cooking until the broccoli becomes somewhat tender and the sauce thickens up, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked beef back in, stir to coat, and move everything to a serving dish. Serve right away alongside the white rice.
