Apricot preserves lend sweetness to this tasty beef stir-fry while red pepper flakes provide a bit of kick. A frozen vegetable medley shaves minutes off prep time…no chopping necessary!

I thought this was ok but not great. If I were to make it again I would use fresh veggies as the frozen ones got too mushy.

This is definitely a make again meal. I was concerned it would be too bland or too sweet, but it was perfect. I didn't change anything about the recipe other than using low sodium soy sauce.

My husband doesn't really care for stir fry but this recipe he could not quit telling how good it was.

Really Simple and tastes delicious. It is even good as a leftover and reheats well.
