Instructions
PREP AND COOK MEAT:
Trim steak. Then, cut it in thirds lengthwise and slice it crosswise into ¼-inch thick pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest, juice, Kikkoman soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
In a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet or pan, add steak and ½ cup of orange juice mixture.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often until the liquid evaporates and the steak has caramelized, about 13-15 minutes.
Remove steak from skillet and place on a plate.
COOK SAUCE AND PEAS:
While the skillet is still on medium-high heat, add the remaining orange juice mixture to the pan.
Bring to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes to reduce the mixture.
Stir occasionally, using the back of the spoon to break up any caramelized bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Add peas, and cover. Cook for 2 minutes or until snap peas are bright green.
Uncover the skillet and cook, stirring often, until the peas are tender and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
TO FINISH:
Add the steak back to the skillet and toss to combine.
Serve over rice and sprinkle with green onions.
