• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 4 cups cooked brown rice, warmed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Slice steaks very thin. Zest one orange; juice both oranges.

Step 2

Mix orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, ginger, Worcestershire, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and cloves for marinade together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak slices, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Step 3

Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade; set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the steak slices and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, being careful as this will cook quickly. Remove to a heat-proof dish or bowl. Continue cooking steak in the same fashion, using 2 tablespoons oil for every batch.

Step 5

Heat remaining tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and add steak back into the pan. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of reserved marinade and allow to thicken and coat veggies and steak. Serve right away with brown rice.
