Serves 4
Ingredients
3 thick slices (5 ounces) bacon, cut into ½"-wide strips
1 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
10 ounces sirloin, cut into ¼"-thick and 1½"-long slices
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
3/4 cup orange juice (from 2 oranges), divided
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 large Cubanelle pepper, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp. chopped rosemary
1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
2 navel oranges, peeled and sectioned
Steamed rice, for serving
Directions
Active time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and place in a medium bowl. Pour off fat in skillet, add 1/2 Tbsp. oil, and warm over high heat. Add beef in an even layer and season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Add zest and cumin and stir a few times. Add soy sauce and stir to coat beef. Transfer beef to bowl with bacon. Add 1/4 cup orange juice to skillet and let reduce to 2 Tbsp., about 1 minute. Add glaze to bowl.
Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add pepper, rosemary, and chili flakes and cook, stirring, until pepper starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add remaining ½ cup orange juice, increase heat to high, and cook 1 minute. Add remaining 1/4 tsp. salt; reserved beef, bacon, and glaze; and orange sections. Toss lightly and serve over rice.
