While stir-frys are very easy and healthy, most people can only take so much brown rice and vegetables. I made this variation for dinner last night, and it was awesome! I modified the recipe from Clean Eating Magazine. It served 3 of us and took less than 45 minutes.

Zesty Orange Beef & Broccoli
8 oz package of soba noodles (this would be good without noodles too!)
cooking spray
1# lean round steak (chicken breast is another solid option), pounded to 1/4 in. thickness and sliced into strips
1/2 c. white onion, diced
2 1/2 c. fresh broccoli florets, separated into bite-size pieces
1 red bell pepper, julienne cut
3 T. low-sodium soy sauce
juice from 1 medium orange
1 T. orange zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 t. agave nectar (honey is fine too)
2 t. whole wheat flour
1) Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cool water and set aside.
2) Heat large non-stick skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-high, mist pan with cooking spray and cook steak for about 5 minutes. Leave the juices in the pan, but remove steak and set aside.
3)Add onion, broccoli and pepper and saute over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 6 minutes).
4) In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, orange juice, zest, garlic and honey.
5) Add steak back to vegetables and pour in soy sauce mixture. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
6) Add flour to juices to thicken, and cook for about 3 minutes.
7) Add the noodles to the dish, and cook until warm, about 3 more minutes.
8) Remove from heat and serve.
