Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 oranges
2 cloves garlic -- minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoons agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed -- cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil -- (1 to 2)
1 pound broccoli
1 red pepper, sliced and cut into large chunks
4 scallions -- green parts only, cut into 1-inch lengths
Into a small bowl, finely grate zest and squeeze juice from 2 oranges. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, agave nectar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss meat with cornstarch until coated. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add broccoli and cook until bright green in color 3 - 5 minutes. (All I had was frozen broccoli, so I nuked it in the microwave, sans the oil for 3 minutes) Remove broccoli and set aside.
In the same skillet and working in batches (adding more oil if needed), brown beef on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Pour juice mixture, broccoli, red peppers, and scallions. Cook until sauce thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes. Serve hot. You can top with sliced fresh oranges and chopped scallions, if desired.

***Well, what can I say. This was good, but I'll need to work on it to make it better. I'll try again at some point in the future. I was going to eat this with brown rice, but even though I'm a fairly decent cook I have yet to make a good batch of rice. So I had a sweet potato with sugar-free maple syrup instead.
