Tangerine Beef Stir-Fry
  • 3 large tangerines (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 piece fresh ginger (about 1 inch), peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Schnucks canola oil
  • 1 pound beef flank steak, sliced across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1 bag (16 ounces) Schnucks frozen vegetable stir-fry
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Salt and ground black pepper (optional)

  1. From 1 tangerine, with vegetable peeler, remove peel, being careful to remove just the orange part of peel. Slice peel into very thin strips. You should have about 1/4 cup. Into 1 cup liquid measuring cup, squeeze 3/4 cup juice from tangerines; stir in ginger, sherry, cornstarch, hoisin and soy sauce.

  2. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add frozen vegetables, bell pepper and sliced tangerine strips; cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are heated through, stirring occasionally.

  3. Stir cornstarch mixture, then pour into skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens, stirring frequently. Stir in salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
