Tonight's Dinner - Chili Orange Shrimp and Beef Stirfry

I just came up with this one on the fly, but it turned out pretty good. Bear had seconds and thirds. The hangar steak at Fairway is only about $5.99 a pound and it's really good broiled. Fairway also has a good deal for jumbo white shrimp, also about $5.99 a pound. We buy them all the time to cook fancy meals on the cheap.

Chili-Orange Shrimp and Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients
1 Hangar Steak
1/2 lb Shrimp, peeled
1 can of mandarin oranges in light syrup
1 small carton of o.j.
1 white/yellow onion, chopped or sliced
1 red pepper, chopped
Scallions
Ginger
Garlic
Cornstarch
Water
Honey
Sesame Oil
Soy Sauce
Sambal Oelek Garlic Chili Sauce (available in any asian food section)


Marinate steak in a mixture of OJ, Sambal Oelek, Soy Sauce, Honey, and little syrup from the can of mandarin oranges (a splash or two of each is plenty) and throw in the broiler

Sautee ginger, garlic, and onions in sesame oil for several minutes in a wok.
Add a 1/2 cup of oj, the remaining mandarin orange syrup and a handful of orange segements, soy sauce, Sambal Oelek, and Honey and cook on heat for several minutes

Add red pepper

Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarched dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water (this acts as thickening agent)

When steak is broiled to your taste, remove and slice.

Add peeled shrimp to wok and cook just until pink

Add steak slices to wok and cook for no longer than 1-2 minutes.

Garnish with chopped scallions

Serve over rice

TIPS:
The Sambal Oelek is pretty spicy, so if you can't handle the heat, use sparingly!

The steak can become chewy if cooked in the sauce for too long so add at the last minute, just so it gets coated with the sauce.
