If you are in the mood for some Chinese, you might want to try out this orange beef recipe. This dish consists of crispy strips of beef coated with a delicious orange sauce. Probably the biggest challenge of this dish is getting the strips of beef crispy. Here are a few tips, you can do this in a wok or fry pan, but I have to recommend a deep fryer. Also, make sure not to overload the deep fryer or work with too many strips of beef. The only place in a minimal amount to fill the wok or deep fryer. One more thing is after you coat the beef with cornstarch you will want to leave it to sit for a few minutes. The sauce is very simple to make if you have a problem getting the sauce to thicken up, mix a bit of cornstarch with some cold water and pour it In, a little at a time until the sauce has reached the desired thickness.
