Marinated Asian Beef Kebobs

Marinated Asian Beef Kebobs
Serves 6

1 pound beef, cut into 2 inch cubes
2 tablespoons Wildtree Outrageous Orange Sauce
4 stalks bok choy, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 orange bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups pineapple, cubed
2 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a small bowl, mix together beef cubes and Outrageous Orange Sauce; be sure beef is coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the bok choy, bell pepper, and pineapple with Grapeseed Oil and season with salt and pepper. Alternate the pineapple, beef, pepper, and bok choy on skewers. Heat grill to medium high and cook skewers for about 5 minutes on each side. The steak should have formed and nice brown crust and the sugars on the fruit will have become caramelized.

Outrageous Orange Sauce

  
Hankering for an easy homemade answer to a Chinese food craving? 
Turn to Wildtree's Outrageous Orange Sauce for a quick fix. Coat fried chicken, mix with vegetables, marinate steak, use in the slow cooker or use as a dipping sauce for baked wontons.  See the recipe below for how to enjoy Wildtree's outrageously healthier version of Orange Chicken plus many more.

Serves 6

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, thinly sliced
Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil, for frying
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cornstarch, plus 2 tablespoons for slurry
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
½ - ¾ cup Wildtree Outrageous Orange Sauce
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Heat 2 inches of Grapeseed Oil to 375°F in a wok or deep skillet. Mix the egg, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil in a large bowl until smooth. Add the chicken and coat it well with the batter. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken pieces in batches until they are browned and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. When you have fried all of the chicken, transfer it to a large bowl. Add the Outrageous Orange Sauce and use tongs to toss chicken making sure it is evenly coated with the sauce. Garnish with scallions. Serve with steamed white rice.

Serves 4

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1-2 tablespoons Wildtree Hot & Spicy Fra Diavolo Blend
3 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes

Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with the Fra Diavolo Blend. Heat the 3 tablespoons Grapeseed Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of Grapeseed Oil to the pan, if necessary, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Serve over pasta.
