When my husband saw this dish on the stove he said it looked just like the stir fry we get at our local Chinese take-out restaurant. I take that as a compliment. I loved how easy this dish comes together and the flavors of orange and sesame together. The beef was beautifully caramelized and the sauce was sweet and savory. I am looking forward to experimenting with this dish some more... so look out for more stir fries in the future.

I haven't made stir-fry in forever. The beef would be great since my husband has been begging for steak.

I bet this would taste great with chicken as well. Love these colorful stir-fries :-) How are you Ramona?
ReplyDeleteI love this. Although I would eat all around the meat and my husband would enjoy the beef.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great addition with the orange marmalade! Great stirfry!
ReplyDeleteBeef stir fries are my favorites, well next to just veggies. I love the flavours you've combined in your recipe, Ramona -- looks scrumptious! Thanks for being a part of the YBR this month:)

ReplyDeleteBTW, I think I'm going to go through your blog recipes (archives) because there are SO many I'd really like to try. Hope you don't mind if I pin a lot of stuff so I can remember where they are when I'm ready to try them!
ReplyDeleteI am totally in love with this recipe. Need it, love it, must make it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a stir fry in a long time. Time to rectify that situation!
ReplyDeleteI realize the other day that we haven't made stir fry in FOREVER. This is clearly a stupid move on my part as stir fry is so easy to make and so delicious. I am in the mood for steak so this one is perfect!
