Orange Beef Stir-Fry Over Rice

We’ve been trying to broaden our dinner horizons lately. It gets boring to have the same meals week in and week out, even though it’s so easy to stick to routine meals because you know that the kids will eat it. My husband is often more adventurous than I am in the kitchen but sometimes I surprise myself! I toyed around with a beef stir-fry that I’m really thrilled with and so is the family! It’s such a basic recipe that I think it’s a perfect quick one to throw together on a day where you’re just tired of the same old, same old!
