Guy Fieri's Spicy Tangerine Beef

I am always on the lookout for something quick and easy to throw together on a weeknight. While this recipe bears a very strong resemblance to the spicy Mongolian beef I've made in the past, the fact of the matter is Will and I love anything orange-flavored, and I like a lot of Guy Fieri's recipes. Both of us LOVED the spiciness of the meat, and I was impressed at how much the orange flavor really came through. Will asked, no, BEGGED me to make this again for dinner one night, and I certainly have no objections! I served this dish with a side of white rice, although the original recipe doesn't call for it.
