2 oranges, juiced and zested 

1 tablespoon sugar

Steak:

1 flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 teaspoons peanut oil

Fruity Chile Sauce:

2 tablespoons sweet chile sauce

2 tablespoons light soy sauce 

Juice of small orange

Hoisin Slaw:

1/2 cup shredded cabbage

1/4 cup shredded carrots

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1 to 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Cucumber Quick Pickles:

3/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 cucumber, cut into very thin half moons

Jalapeno Quick Pickles:

3/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

2 jalapenos or serranos, cut into thin rounds

Hawaiian split-top hot dog buns

Japonese mayonnaise, such as Kewpie, for serving

Serving suggestions: tempura sweet potato fries, fried wonton chips or egg roll 

Directions

  1. For the marinade: Combine the garlic, ginger, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest and sugar in a medium bowl.
  2. For the steak: Marinate the steak in the marinade mixture for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  3. Set a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Stir-fry the beef until it is slightly caramelized and has taken on some of the smoky wok flavor.
  4. For the sauce: Place a small wok or skillet over high heat, add the chile sauce, light soy sauce and orange juice, and allow to bubble away until thickened.
  5. For the slaw: Mix the cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise and hoisin sauce.
  6. For the cucumber pickles: Dissolve the sugar into the vinegar. Add in the cucumbers.
  7. For the jalapeno pickles: Dissolve the sugar into the vinegar. Add in the jalapenos.
  8. On a potato bun, add some mayonnaise, a few slices of the steak, some sauce, pickles and slaw. Serve with tempura sweet potato fries, wonton chips or an egg roll on the side.
