Oh how I love this Asian Orange Beef recipe. I love Orange Chicken so it’s only natural that I would also love Orange Beef. And I was right.

When making this recipe it’s very important to select the correct type of meat. Beef Sirloin Steaks have no bones and very little fat. It is also a little more affordable than some of the other cuts like Filet Mignon.

I prefer to use Navel Oranges when I can get my hands on them but you can substitute for whatever type of oranges you have on hand.

Just make sure the oranges you use will generate the same amount of zest and juice that a Navel Orange will generate.

Also don’t skimp on the Fresh Ginger. It plays a very important role in this Asian dish. Most of the flavor of the sauce comes from the orange juice and zest, the fresh ginger and the garlic.

  1. This was easy to make and I love that itโ€™s not just made with orange juice, but using the juice of the oranges and the zest really bring this flavor out.
