Orange Ginger Beef

Submitted by Sassy Sandra

"This is a great quick supper for those very busy soccer nights! We normally make it with a pot of rice or chow-mein. (I can sometimes con the kids into making this for me, which is even more of a bonus!) It's very good and you can add whatever vegetables that appeal to your family. I got this recipe from the Canadian Living Magazine, (1997) and have made it many, many times!"

Followed the recipe exactly. Boy! If you like orange alot and I mean alot, this dish is for you! Next time I make this dish, I'll cut the amount of zest into the sauce in half. This recipe needs a little work before I serve it to company.
