Salt and pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying

1. For beef, season flank steak strips with salt and pepper, then toss with flour. Shake off excess flour.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch vegetable oil to 365 degrees F. Working in batches, fry flour-coated steak strips until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Do not crowd pan.) Drain on paper towels. Set aside and keep warm.
3. For sauce, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic in canola oil until fragrant. (Do not let garlic brown.) Add orange marmalade, 1/2 cup of beef broth, the chiles, and soy sauce. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup beef broth. Stir cornstarch mixture into simmering sauce. Return to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until sauce thickens. Pour sauce over beef and serve.
Serving Idea: Serve on a bed of frisee and crispy fried rice noodles. Garnish with strips of orange peel.
