Orange Broccoli Beef

This is a yummy Chinese meal that is very close to what you would get by going out to a Chinese Restaurant.
Crispy strips of beef coated with a delicious orange sauce served with steamed fresh Broccoli and served over Steamed rice.
Probably the biggest challenge of this dish is getting the strips of beef crispy. The best way is to cook the beef in batches and not all at one time. Also before you cook the beef make sure it has been sitting with the cornstarch on it for a good 30 minutes.
The sauce is simple to make and you could be putting it together as the beef and cornstarch sit.
Our family really enjoyed this meal the orange sauce is very good and makes the Beef and Broccoli taste so Yummy!
