Prep Time15 Minutes

Cook Time10 Minutes
0Ingredients
5 small Neapolitan tangerines
1 Tbsp. cornstarch + 2 Tbsp. water
3 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
1 ½ tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 Tbsp. Heinen’s avocado oil
1 lb. Heinen’s CARE Certified beef coulotte or flank steak, sliced very thin against the grain
Kosher salt and pepper
3 cups steamed fresh broccoli florets (sub with a 12 oz. package of Heinen’s steam-in-bag frozen broccoli, prepared according to the package directions)
⅓ cup green onions, sliced
Cooked rice
Sesame seeds
Directions
- Zest 1 tangerine, then juice 3 of them to collect ½ cup of tangerine juice.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then whisk in the tangerine zest and juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
- Peel and segment the zested tangerine and last remaining tangerine. Set aside.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the pan and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Stir-fry until just cooked through, then use tongs to remove the beef from pan. Set the meat aside.
- Wipe out the pan and set it over medium heat. Add the sauce to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
- Return the beef to the pan, along with the steamed broccoli. Toss until everything is well-coated. Fold in the tangerine segments and sliced green onions.
- Serve over hot cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.
