Instructions
Wash and dry orange; use zesting tool or microplaner to remove 1 to 2 teaspoons of zest from peel. Set aside. Slice orange in half; squeeze out 1/3 cup of juice into small bowl. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic and ½ of orange zest. Stir to combine and set aside.
Add oil to a 10 to 12” skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Add steak strips and sear for 2 minutes without turning. Use tongs to flip strips and cook on opposite side for about 2 more minutes until “just” cooked. Transfer to plate to rest.
Reduce heat to low and add sugar snap peas and sauce mixture to skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until thickened and snap peas crisp-tender. Toss back in cooked beef and stir for another 1 minute until warmed. Sprinkle sliced green onion and remaining orange zest over beef, serve with rice if desired.
