Recipe for Beef  with Chili and Orange ...

This recipe for beef with chilli and orange really hits the spot. Stir-frying is one of the best ways to cook meat as it uses little oil or fat. It is also one of the quickest ways to cook but you need to make sure you use the leanest beef. This is a delightful blend of sticky sweet from the orange and the warm undertone of the chilli. Iā€™d say add as many chillies as you like to taste but that would overpower and negate the juice of the orange which adds a nice burst of vitamin c to this dish. If you want to add a vegetable to the stir-fry mix, use strips of carrots as they go well with the rest of the ingredients. This is really tasty with a side order of steamed broccoli.
