Spicy Tangerine Beef with Carrot Ribbons is a flavorful dish featuring tender beef strips and fresh carrot ribbons in a zesty, spicy tangerine sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh tangerine juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • 2 large carrots, peeled into ribbons
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together tangerine juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook until slightly tender, about 3 minutes.
  4. Pour the tangerine sauce into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the carrot ribbons and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until carrots are slightly tender-crisp.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • You can substitute orange juice for tangerine juice if tangerines are not available.
  • Serve with a side of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
