Skip takeout and make Orange Beef and Broccoli at home! Flank steak and broccoli cooked in a spicy orange sauce. It’s so delicious and so easy!
I cooked with flank steak for the first time a couple months ago and since then I have become obsessed with it. It’s easy, delicious, and so versatile!
This Orange Beef and Broccoli is just like from your favorite Chinese takeout place but so much cheaper and healthier! The sauce is exploding with flavor and just spicy enough.
This had been on my “Make When the Husband Leaves” list but I am officially transferring it to the “Make When the Husband Comes Home” list! I absolutely adored it and had no problem eating it for lunch 3 days in a row.
Ingredients
- Fresh oranges – you’re going to use the juice and the zest from the orange.
- Soy sauce – I recommend using a low-sodium soy sauce so that you can control how salty the final dish is.
- Orange marmalade
- Rice wine vinegar
- Garlic
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Cornstarch – this is used to thicken the sauce.
- Oil
- Flank steak
- Broccoli

I love flank steak but hate its price tag… (not sure what its like else where but around here its been crazy high lately). I watch it like a hawk at the market waiting for a sale price. We love making Chinese inspired dishes at home – everything just tastes so much fresher and I use it as a way to pack extra veggies in.

Wow. I don’t want to say much else because I am salivating so much I am afraid that the drool will drop onto my keyboard and short out my PC!

Mmm for how often I used to make stir frys I so rarely these days. Looks good enough to lick the screen. Not that I did or anything…
