  1. I make a recipe just like this one. It is one of my very favorite foods of all time. I love sweet hot foods and Madame's Orange Peel Beef is the reason I first found that out. You can't pass this up if you like sweet/hot. I highly recommend it. The Chinese restaurant I usually get this at also has quite a bit of stir fried green onion in it. Try little bites of the peppers until you decide how much heat you like.
     
  2. I can't believe that no one has tried and rated this recipe before now. Sandi...this was lovely!!! Fantastic orange flavor, tender beef and just the right amount of sauce. I made some steamed chinese broccoli for a side dish to go along with the orange beef, they balanced each other out perfectly. To anyone who enjoys orange beef...you have to try this recipe! Thanks for a new favorite Sandi.
     
  3. very nice recipe. I have been looking for an orange sauce that is almost candied. Very sweet. One question about your instructions. Are you double frying the beef? If so, to what degree on the first round? Thanks for sharing this recipe Doug
     
  4. The sauce for this was fantastic!! I made it with chicken and it was really flavorful. I will make this over and over again because it's that good. I did not deep fry it or use flour since I'm allergic to it. It's not necessary and more healthy to just saute the chicken pieces. Make this, you will not be disappointed!
