Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, cut in 1-inch strips
  2. Salt and pepper
  3. 1/2 cup cornstarch
  4. Vegetable oil, for frying
  5. 1 package thin rice noodles
  6. Frisee lettuce, to serve
  7. 1 tablespoon canola oil
  8. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  9. 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  10. 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  11. 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  12. 10 small dried Thai chiles
  13. 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Season flank steak strips with salt and pepper, then toss with cornstarch. Shake off excess.
  2. Fill a large frying pan with enough oil to cover the bottom by 1/4 to 1/2-inch. Heat the oil to 365 degrees F. First add noodles to oil and let cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Take out noodles and then, working in batches, fry the steak. Do not crowd pan. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  3. For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat and cook the garlic until fragrant; do not let the garlic brown. Add orange marmalade, 1/2 cup beef broth, soy sauce, and chiles. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup beef broth. Stir cornstarch mixture into simmering sauce. Return to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until sauce thickens.
  4. Make a bed of the frisee lettuce on a platter. Put the crispy noodles on top and then the beef. Pour sauce over beef and serve.

Not the best, but in It’s defense I tried it inthe air fryer… definitely needs more orange flavor; but even if I “crisped” the beef and did the recipe as written I don’t think it would’ve cut the mustard… not my favorite; will find a different recipe

Needs a bit more orange flavor. But it was tasty and as an added bonus, the whole family ate it!
