Spicy Orange beef

This is really so much easier than takeout, and its healthier and frankly better tasting. I served this with brown rice (simmered in chicken stock) and steamed snowpeas with sesame seeds. You can up the spice with more chili paste or dial it back. 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, sliced into 1/2 inch strips 1/4 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use low sodium) 1 tablespoon hot, red chili paste (found in the Asian section) 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon ginger, grated 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon cornstarch 3 tablespoons vegi oil 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest, grated 1 bunch green onions, sliced. Green and white seperated. Pepper to taste Combine ingredients up to water, without steak, in a bow. Add steak, toss and cover. Put in refridgerator for 2-4 hours. Heat large sautee pan (or wok) on medium high heat. Drain meat, reserving marinade. Whisk cornstarch into cold water, add to marinade and whisk. Cook meat for 1 minute without touching. Stir for an additional 1 minute. Stir in green parts of onions and zest. Stir for 0 seconds. Add marinade and white parts of onions. Cook until meat is no longer pink. Serve over rice.
