Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup tangerine juice
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Thai red curry paste. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the beef from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Grill the beef slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine tangerine juice, lime juice, and the remaining marinade. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
8. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
9. Slice the grilled beef into thin strips and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the tangerine sauce over the beef and garnish with fresh cilantro.
10. Serve the mild Thai beef with a tangerine sauce alongside steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
