INGREDIENTS

4 large navel oranges
1/2 small onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon oil
8-ounces extra-lean ground round beef
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced

Peel the oranges. Cut each crosswise into 4 thick slices. Arrange on a platter.

In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, combine the onions, garlic, water and oil. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, or until the onions are soft but not browned. Add the beef. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink. Add the peppers, brown sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates.

Add the cilantro; stir well to combine. Top each orange slice with the beef mixture.
