Spicy Orange Beef

This stir-fry is a good weekday dinner recipe. It can be made in about the time it takes to make a pot of rice to serve with it. Recipe yield: 4 servings.

In a wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef strips 1/3 at a time. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned, removing the done pieces to a plate lined with paper towels. 2. Return all the beef to the wok. Stir in orange peel, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute. 3. In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, broth, soy sauce, sherry, marmalade, and red pepper.
