CRISPY SHREDDED ORANGE BEEF
When it comes to getting take-out, this is my go-to. Orange-flavored crispy beef is just so yummy! This recipe beats any take-out, and what's better is that it's so easy to make.

Steps:
- For the steak: Pour about 2 inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, toss the steak with the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes and then toss again.
- Cook the steak in batches until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate with a mesh spider and set aside.
- For the sauce: Combine the chili sauce, orange juice and soy sauce in another large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the steak to the saucepan and stir to coat in the sauce.
- Serve the orange beef with cooked rice, garnish with the scallions and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
SPICY CRISPY BEEF
I've never found a recipe for crispy ginger beef like the ones in the restaurants. I have experimented, and found something pretty close. Serve with rice and some steamed veggies.

Steps:
- For the marinade: Whisk the oil, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, chile powders, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, salt and thyme together in a large bowl. Add the beef, making sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- For the machaca: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain the beef, pat it dry and then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove to a plate. Add the water, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, hot sauce and some salt and pepper to the pot and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Return the beef to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.
- Remove from the heat and pull out the meat, shredding it with forks. Return the meat to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat, uncovered. Reduce the liquid until very thick, almost dry, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the tacos: Take a warm tortilla and fill with 3 tablespoons of the machaca beef. Fold the tortilla over and close with two toothpicks along the sides. Continue with the remaining tortillas.
- Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
- Fry the tacos in batches until golden brown and the shell is hard, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on a tray lined with parchment paper. Remove the toothpicks and fill each taco with cheese, lettuce and tomato.

Steps:
- Beat together eggs, salt and cornflour. Mix in the beef until well coated.
- Heat oil to 180C and deep-fry the beef strips, adding them individually. Leave them ten seconds before stirring, to prevent them sticking together.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes until brown and crispy. Don't overload the pan or they will end up soggy.
- As the beef cooks, remove it and drain on kitchen paper.
- Using a little of the frying oil, stir fry the carrot, onion, garlic and chilli. Add the sugar, vinegar, chilli sauce and soy sauce and mix.
- Add the beef and toss together.
