Cut the partially frozen steak across the grain into paper-thin slices
about 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide. In a medium bowl, combine 1
tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add the beef slices and
toss to coat. Mix in the egg white, then add 1 tablespoon of the
cornstarch, mixing with fingers to distribute evenly.

In a wok or 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot.
Add the beef and stri-fry until the meat just loses its redness,
about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a dish.

In the oil remaining in the wok, stir-fry the orange peel over medium
heat for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Mix in the orange juice concentrate,
the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the
ketchup, 1/4 cup water, and the orange extract. Heat to boiling.
Dissolve the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch in the remain- ing 1
tablespoon water and add to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until
the sauce boils and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.

Return the beef to the wok and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve
over hot cooked rice, garnished with parsley and orange slices, if
desired.
