Great recipe! Very easy to make, it could be a little bit spicier for me though. I think I might add some chinese peppers next time I make it. Thanks for posting it though!

The orange sauce is amazing! I make it over rice w/vegetables. Makes a great stir-fry.

This recipes was good however, I thought the overall flavor was quite strong (not spicy). The hubby liked it, but he likes things with very strong spices and flavors. I left out the orange peel and made 1-1/2 times the sauce. I would not recommend making extra sauce since you don't need much sauce to get the effect. When I went to save the leftovers, I threw out the excess sauce.

I made this today. My 9 year old didn't like it and he is a meat eater. Overall it was good but nothing I would rush to make again. It bordered on the almost too- sweet side. The cut of meat that I used was also rather tough.....thin sliced top round steak.

I wish I could give this a higher star value, but it just wasn't a big hit...good recipe, and I do give it 5 stars for ease of preperation, but my husband actually asked me not to make it again (I forgot he doesn't like citrus flavored recipes though). The recipe is easy, and I followed it exactly, but unfortunatly not a "wow" recipe. Sorry.

This is fabulous. I served it over "Asian Coconut Rice" (recipe on this site also) and they are great together. I added some veggies and upped the heat with some white pepper and extra red pepper. Also, I was feeling a little lazy so I skipped the orange zest and added more marmalade which worked just fine. Still a nice orange flavor, but not too much.

Very quick, easy, and tasty! I followed the recipe exactly only I left the orange peel in large pieces so that I could easily fish them out for my picky 7 year-old. A keeper!

This is an excellent and easy recipe. Instead of omitting the orange peel, just cut two 1/2 inch slices the length of the orange, you will be able to remove them later - I think they are necessary to get the full flavor of the orange, the marmalade isn't enough.

This was fabulous. It was super easy and quick, which is perfect for a working mom like myself. The sause thickens up nicely and has a tasty, rich flavor. I highly reccomend adding the cornstarch to the bowl first then slowly mixing the broth in while stirring, this makes the corn starch dissolve properly. I really liked it with the orange peal. It has a subtle flavor, not too strong.

"Spicy" in the title is a little misleading. There was no heat to this. Next time I'll add some type of hot sauce and some vegetables. The beef turned out great and the sauce had a good consistency, but there was so much sauce and not much to the dish. Good base to add on to next time.

Great flavor! Love to add oriental veggies at the end and let simmer for a few minutes. Didn't like the orange peel so omitted but still perfect.

Based on earlier reviews, I left out the peel but otherwise prepared as directed. This was a quick, delicious dish that I will make again. There was just enough orange for my taste. Next time, I'm considering marinating the meat prior to cooking as other reviews have suggested and may increase the spiciness factor a touch to suit my own tastes (I like things really spicy!) Thank you Christine!!

After reading all the mixed reviews, I didn't know if I should even try this dish, but I'm glad I did. It turned out really good. The little bit of red pepper did not make it too spicy and the orange marmalade lent a subtle orange flavor. I added green pepper for some color.

My hubby and I loved the sauce! No leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I incorporated the suggestions of the other reviewers and omitted the zest and added broccoli and red pepper. Had no sherry at hand but still tasted great. Cook times in the recipe are spot-on. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely cook this again, maybe next time with chicken. =)

This was just marginal at best. The recipe for crispy orange beef is MUCH better. Don't waste your time or ingredients with this dish!!

A nice change of pace from traditional chinese flavor. The orange added just enough to add to the meat without overpowering it.

Not very sweet, not too spicy, has a weird "twang" to it (as husband stated.) It's O.K. I'd have to probably cut down the soy a bit and maybe add a little sugar and orange or lemon juice as well.
