INGREDIENTS:

• 450 g lean beef sirloin, rump or tenderloin, cut into thin strips (preferably organic)
• finely grated rind from one organic orange
• freshly squeezed juice of two oranges
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 large carrots, cut into thin strips
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• Chinese noodles, rice noodles or steamed rice, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef strips with the orange rind and juice. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring from time to time.
2. Drain the orange marinade from the beef and set aside. Add the soya sauce and ginger and stir to combine.
3. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet. When hot, add the beef strips and stir fry for one minute until they are lightly colored. Add the carrot strips and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the sliced green onions and the reserved marinade, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is boiling. Serve over noodles or steamed rice.
