Who needs takeout? With convenient ready-to-use stir-fry vegetables, this delicious beef recipe can be ready in a flash. Serve with rice. Look for Chinese Five Spice and hoisin sauce in the Asian sections at your grocery store or at Asian markets.

Directions

Finely grate orange peel and squeeze out juice. Whisk together hoisin sauce, orange juice, cornstarch, ginger root, Chinese Five Spice, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the orange peel and pepper flakes; set aside. Cut steak in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (5 mm) strips and trim all fat.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet until sizzling; stir-fry beef and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes or until beef is browned but still pink inside (cook in 2 batches). Remove beef.

Add vegetables and a few spoonfuls of water to skillet; cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender-crisp. Add reserved sauce; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in beef and any juices; heat through.
