Spicy Beef Stir-Fry with a hint of Orange

By HeatherS

To make this stir-fry especially delicious, marinate the beef for one hour before cooking. You can replace the beef with chicken, turkey, pork, or jumbo shrimp and it's just as tasty.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
• 1 lb (500 g) inside round steak strips
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) cauliflower florets
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) orange zest
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried basil
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) orange juice
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp (30 mL) liquid honey
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) dried chives

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in a large saute pan. Saute the beef on high heat for 10 minutes. Remove the beef; set aside.

Wipe out the pan. Stir-fry the garlic, vegetables, zest, herbs, and hot red pepper flakes in the remaining 2 Tbsp (30 mL) oil on high heat for 5 minutes.

Add the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and reserved beef. Simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes. Add the chives and serve immediately.
