1 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Combine the orange juice, sesame oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large bowl. Add the steak, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Strain the marinade from the steak, reserving 2 tablespoons and discarding the rest. In a small bowl, mix the reserved marinade and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and curry powder, and cook for 3 minutes. Then add the beef, and cook for about five minutes. Add the marinade mixture, the tomatoes and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook until the sauce thickens, about one minute. Remove from the heat, and add the parsley and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Serves six.
