This easy recipe was fast and super delicious as it was crammed with flavour! Orange juice is definitely good for more than just drinking with its zesty taste that perfectly complements the heavy taste of steak. This recipe is a good source of protein, is 330 calories per serving, and makes enough for 4. Courtesy of Time to Cook...Healthy Recipes.
- 2 large oranges (I used a few packs of those packaged mandarins, plus a healthy splash of OJ)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 fillet steaks
- salt & pepper
- 6 tbsp beef stock
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- fresh flat leaf parsley leaves as garnish.
Melt butter in a heavy-bottom skillet. Add steaks and cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned and sealed. Remove from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
Pour OJ into skillet and add stock and vinegar. Let simmer on low heat for 2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste, then add in steaks. Heat for another 2 minutes and serve with orange slices, zest, and parsley as garnish.
Total time: 15 minutes.

Wow! This looks amazing! I have never thought ot use orange juice as a flavoring with meats, but it sounds like a fabulous idea! I am definitely going to try this out myself!! :)
Im a vegetarian so the rice and the broccoli look delish to me :)
looks good!!! a splash of OJ at first seems "WHAT?" but now that i think about it, i can see how it would be a good fit. i may have to try that soon!
I love orange and anything - chocolate, chicken, steak! Thanks for the great recipe!
Btw - the fish skins go through a month long tanning process that when done properly renders them very durable. Hard to believe but it's very strong! (And no smell!)
Have a great weekend! ♥
wow....nice food...

I never would have thought orange with steak but it makes total sense. Looks like a quick meal for weeknight too!
Btw I'm finally feeling better now so let's try for lunch again in the upcoming weeks
That sounds delish. I'm a sucker for steak anything!
yummy!
yum :) haha coincidentally I was just drinking orange juice. Maybe I should make some steak now? :)
That looks amazing. Never thought of using orange with steak. Did you pair it with a wine?
That looks amazing. Good idea with orange and steak. Did you match a wine with it?
I've never cooked with orange juice!!! I'm going to try this one day. :) Sounds healthy. Just what I need!

Looks and sounds yumm! I love trying out things like OJ used in things you might not expect. Often produces some really nice results!
steak and OJ eh? hmmm sounds interesting! haha yeah I didn't think that the cookies would work since if it actually did work they'd be a lot more than $20CDN per box! Anyways sounds way too good to be true. Meh, nothing wrong with that I got, though they do taste pretty good though!!
@Teresa: hehe no, no wine pairings since I was eating solo!
Steak and broccoliii mmm yumm
That looks so yummy! I think I'm hungry!

that looks delsih .. im gonna save it .. i'll telll you how it turns out .. i jsut recently started cooking
YUM! Sweetie, you're a great cook! It's tantalizing my stomach! :)
Looks good! Some suggestions:
Use high heat to sear the steaks! Blotting them with paper towel before searing will also increase the rate of browning, as water inhibits the Maillard reaction.
Also, "sealing" the steaks is an old wives' tale - searing actually results in greater loss of moisture. The only purpose of searing meat is to create a tasty crust.
That all said, this looks delicious. The nice things is you can use this method with a ton of variations - sear meat, reduce heat, cook to desired doneness, remove and reserve meat, deglaze with whatever liquid (being sure to scrape up all the fond), add other spices if wanted, nom! If you have the meat out when making the sauce, you can try dropping the heat to low, adding some butter and stirring furiously - this'll create an emulsion that makes for a really nice thick sauce. Search for "monter au beurre" for the butter trick.
I really like doing this particular sort of thing with duck breasts and a port wine sauce with juniper berries and perhaps some blueberries. The only complication with the duck is that you need to spend a few minutes on low to render the fat from under the skin, as ducks are fat little critters.
@Jeff: Wow thanks so much for those tips! Maybe you can send me one of your recipes and I'll post it on my blog, crediting you of course ;)
looks so yum!
