Sweet n Sour Orange Beef
- 2 pounds Flank Steak
- 12 ounces, weight Smucker's Brand Sweet Orange Marmalade
- 2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 4 Eggs
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- Vegetable Oil, For Frying
- Kosher Salt And Black Pepper To Taste

- Slice steak into small, thin strips, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat marmalade, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan on medium heat.
- When bubbly pour the mixture through a strainer into a bowl and then add it back into the pan, keeping it warm over low heat.
- You can add half the pulp (from the strainer) back into sauce to give it a little texture if desired.
- Beat eggs in a wide, shallow dish.
- Do the same thing with the flour placing it in a separate shallow dish.
- Dredge the beef in the eggs then add to the flour mixture coating each piece thoroughly.
- Heat enough vegetable oil to cover beef strips halfway in a frying pan or wok over medium heat.
- When oil is hot, add beef into the oil in small batches and fry it tossing to cook each side.
- Add more oil if needed.
- When meat is cooked through and the batter is golden brown remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with the remaining steak.
- When done, pour the remaining oil into the empty glass marmalade jar and return fried beef to pan, then pour orange sauce all over.
- Stir to insure that each piece gets coated with the orange goodness.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and garnish with orange slices and a sprig of parsley.
- Serve with jasmine rice and Chinese greens.
