Ingredients
- 1 kg beef loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons halal soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Pat the beef loin dry and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned.

- Pour in orange juice, honey, soy sauce, mustard, and orange zest. Stir to combine.
