Combine sauce ingredients. Set aside. Cut beef into thick slices and pound until 3/8 inch thick. Marinate in soy sauce and sugar 10 minutes. Add egg and flour, mix with hand.

Reheat 2 tablespoons oil in wok. Stir fry chili peppers and orange peel until "black". Add sauce. Bring to boil. Thicken with dissolved cornstarch. Add beef. Stir-fry 1 minute more. Remove peppers prior to serving.
