Orange Scented Beef Stir-Fry
"This came from a healthy online recipe site. You can easily replace the beef with your choice of protein. I have made this often and it always turns out great for me. Great way to eat a healthier version of an asian stir-fry. Serve with brown or white steamed jasmine rice."

Simply wonderful, just a hint of a kick from the ginger and the chili-garlic sauce. Why not make this for your honey for Valentines's Day! We used deer tenderloin, which DH cut in 1/4-inch thickness; as soon as blood appeared, I turned it. I kept the tenderloin in the oven at 200-degrees F until the end. Just fantastic, the only downside is the prep time, but it was worth it. For just the 2 of us, I used half the broccoli, but kept everything else the same. Served this with Recipe#505471 (although to witness the different flavors, please don't serve the beef on top of the rice because it would all blur together.) Made for Best of 2013 tag based on GibbyLou's recommendation. -
I've made this a couple of times. The first time was on a sailing trip with the family. Because of personal preference, I use snap peas instead of broccoli. This is very tasty and quick once every thing is chopped. Thanks for sharing.

Although hardly your traditional southern girl, I come from a huge southern family and have been cooking since I was eight years old. Cooking is more then a hobby, I genuinely get so much pleasure from cooking and providing the people I love with great food. I have to attest, that it truly IS the way to a man's heart! In my opinion, there is nothing more admirable to hold then the truest essence of a homemaker, or as the term is coined today "household engineer"! I am a licensed real estate agent working full-time from home and a soccer mom to my 9 year old son. I am a busy bee but somehow find time to indulge in some of my many passions: dancing, photography, sewing and interior design. Finding that perfect balance is what I strive to do everyday and so far so good.
