Ingredients
Directions
-
Step 1
Place beef in a large, resealable plastic bag and set aside. -
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil, garlic powder, and pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended. Reserve half of mixture (about 1/2 cup/125 mL) and pour the remaining half over the beef and seal bag; toss back and forth to coat beef. Refrigerate overnight or up to 48 hours, if desired, turning occasionally. -
Step 3
Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef 5–6 minutes on each side or until very pink in centre. (Do not overcook or it will be tough.) Place on a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. -
Step 4
Pour reserved marinade into the pan residue in skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 3 minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup (50 mL), scraping bottom and sides of skillet. (The sauce consistency will be very thick.) -
Step 5
Cook Once Eat Twice: Reserve half of the sauce (about 2 tbsp/25 mL) and half of the beef in separate containers for Citrus beef on zucchini ribbons. Cool and refrigerate. -
Step 6
To serve, thinly slice remaining beef against the grain and drizzle with remaining sauce (about 2 tbsp/25 mL).
