Beef & Broccoli Orange Stir-Fry

We had Kristin over for dinner last night and I wanted to make something healthy but also something Kristin would like. From the picture of this recipe, I could tell it was something she would like. We all enjoyed it!

Ingredients:

12 oz. soba noodles

Olive oil cooking spray

1 lb. lean round steak, pounded to 1/4" thickness & sliced into strips (I couldn't pound it very thin, so I just cut in in thin slices)

1/2 cup white onion, diced

2 cups fresh broccoli florets, separated into bite-size pieces

1/2 red bell pepper, julienne cut

3 tbsp. low-sodium tamari soy sauce (I just used regular low-sodium)

Juice of 1 medium orange

1 tbsp. orange zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp. raw organic honey (not sure what raw honey is, I used regular organic)

2 tsp. whole-wheat flour

Instructions:

One: Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Two: Heat large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-high, mist pan with cooking spray and saute steak for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove steak, leaving juices in the pan.

Three: Mist same pan again with cooking spray. Add onion, broccoli and pepper and saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Four: In medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice and zest, garlic and honey.

Five: Add steak back to vegetables in pan and pour in soy sauce mixture. Saute steak and vegetables over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then whisk in flour to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Add noodles to pan and cook until warmed, about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
