Beef and Bean Stir Fry

After talking about my meal plan making basics last week I made a beef and bean stir fry inspired by a Better Homes and Gardens All Time Favorites magazine I found when moving. I paged through to get some recipe ideas and saw a great idea for the sauce in a stir fry- 1/4 cup orange juice. Something to add just a bit of sweetness to a sauce. It was delicious!

The butter beans were perfect in this, a little extra protein and substance to the stir fry and the soak up sauce so well!
