Curried Steak With Orange Sauce & Orange Ginger Steak Skewer

Submitted by Olha7397

"In this recipe, a portion of the steak is cut into thin strips, skewered, and seasoned (or not) to the children’s liking. The remaining portion of the steak is left whole and seasoned with a spicy rub or orange, curry, and ginger. The pan juices are deglazed with rice vinegar and orange juice concentrate to make a deliciously sweet and sour orange curry sauce. The kids liked their portions on skewers but wanted to try the adult variation too. This meal is inexpensive and quick—a great family meal."

The combination of Vinegar, Orange shavings, Curry and cumin seemed to be a little too much for steak. I would recommend some other spice combination, or excluding 1 or 2 of the suggested spices/ingredients.
