Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, orange zest, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
5. Toss in the sliced red bell pepper and chopped green onions, stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice and honey. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables thoroughly.
7. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
9. Serve the orange peel beef hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
