Orange marmalade is the secret ingredient in this quick stir-fry. For variations, substitute chicken, shrimp, pork or tofu for the beef; adjusting the cooking time accordingly.

Step 2
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add half the beef; stir-fry until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Stir-fry the remaining beef in 1 teaspoon oil; transfer to the plate.
Step 3
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the wok. Add ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add onion; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and broccoli; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup broth, cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Push the vegetables to the sides. Stir the sauce mixture and add it to the wok. Cook, stirring, until the sauce becomes thick and translucent. Stir the vegetables into the sauce and return the beef to the wok; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a KEEPER! I found this rece just today and fixed it for dinner tonight. It was very good and everyone loved it! Because of the heat factor, I substituted plain tomato paste and exta garlic for the chili-garlic paste called for, and I added a can of baby corn (rinsed and drained well). I served it over brown rice and for extra crunch, I sprinkled sliced almonds over the top. Pros: Great taste; easy to prepare; family lived it

not for picky eaters Me and my roommate liked it but her fiance is a really picky eater and hated the cut of steak. so because there were 2 complaints i had to mark this down. Pros: i love the sauce, fast to make, pretty cheap Cons: not enough sauce is called for in the recipe

I loved this. I will definitely make it again. I also doubled the amount of sauce that I used and added a few more veggies into it (carrots and bean sprouts). The extra sauce also came in handy for reheating the next day. It turned out great.
