SESAME BEEF
In small saucepan mix:
1/2 c. water
1 Tbsp orange peel
1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
Boil down to about 1/3 c. juice, strain and reserve juice.
Add to reserved juice (same sauce pan is okay):
1/4 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c ketchup
1/2 c sherry
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 c rice wine vinegar
salt, to taste
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Stir well over low heat until slight boil. To this add a mixture of 2
tsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cold water. Stir constantly until
thickened, add 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Keep warm until beef is ready.
Slice 1/2-3/4 pounds of lean sirloin or tenderloin into 1/4" strips, and coat in a mixture of 1 beaten egg, 1/2 tsp. sesame oil, and salt. Roll in cornstarch, and let sit on wax paper for about 10 minutes (until cornstarch is almost absorbed). Deep fry beef pieces at 350° until slight brown (about 2.5 minutes). Drain on paper towel. Add beef to sauce and serve over rice. |
