Preparation

Thai Orange Beef Noodles
For Marinade:

Combine all ingredients; reserve 1/2 cup.

For Beef and Noodles:

Pour marinade over flank steaks; cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steaks to medium; remove from heat and let stand. Bring orange juice to a boil in saucepan; remove from heat and add rice stick noodles. Let stand for 15 minutes; drain and reserve. In large wok over medium-high heat, add just enough oil to coat pan; add onion and cook until deep golden brown. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn garlic. Add mushrooms, snow peas, cilantro, mint, soy sauce and Thai chile; sauté until vegetables are tender crisp. Add reserved noodles; toss to combine and cook just until heated through. Thinly slice flank steak against the grain. Garnish beef and noodles with green onions; serve immediately.
