For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before stir-frying. Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and what you have on hand. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a touch more marmalade to taste.

Follow The Directions
01
StepZest one orange to yield 1 tablespoon of zest, then juice it to get 1/4 cup of juice. Peel and section the remaining two oranges. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepIn a saucepan, bring water and brown rice to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is completely absorbed. (Cook time: 45-50 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, beef broth, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, marmalade, sesame oil, and salt. Gradually whisk in cornstarch until smooth. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepCoat a wok or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry beef until browned on all sides. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)
05
StepAdd vegetable oil and carrot to the wok; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add green onions and bell pepper; stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. Incorporate garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. (Cook time: 6-7 minutes)
06
StepReturn the beef to the wok. Stir the cornstarch mixture again, then add it to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and is bubbling. Add the orange sections and cook, stirring gently, for 1 minute. (Cook time: 3-4 minutes)
07
StepDivide the cooked rice among four plates. Top with the beef and vegetable mixture, and garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)
