Yum! Fast and easy. I made this exactly to the recipe and it went over well. Only thing is that the orange flavor doesn't come through very strongly. Every now and then you get a bite and taste it, but mostly it tastes like beef and veggies. Next time, I will put more marmalade in there! Valerie, Sugar Land, TX	8 weeks 5 days ago
I made this last night, the only thing that I changed was I doubled the sauce and served it over Jasmine rice! It was incredible, the flavors were perfectly balanced! I highly recommend that you try it!!! Anonymous, Rochester, NY	8 weeks 5 days ago
We substitute chicken for the beef and make more sauce (1 1/2 times all the sauce ingredients except the marmalade)...this is a dinnertime staple in our house! Suzanne, San Diego, CA	8 weeks 5 days ago
Fast and easy to fix. So fast, you better start the water for the rice before you do anything else. The subtleness of the orange adds another level to the flavor of this stir-fry. it reminds me of a sweet and sour takeout without all the fat and calories. Anonymous	8 weeks 5 days ago
