Crockpot Monday: Orange Beef

I'm a sucker for sweet and citrusy and this week, my youngest son will be finding out the results of his audition to be a member of the Kalamazoo Youth Jazz Orchestra so I'm hoping that this will serve as a celebration dinner. Fingers crossed!

Orange Beef:

Ingredients:
1.5 pounds beef round steak, sliced or beef stir fry strips
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup orange juice
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
6 green onions, sliced
1 small head bok choy, cut in 1-inch chunks
Cooked white or brown basmati rice for serving

Directions:

For absolute best results, marinate the meat the night before in a plastic bag with the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, honey, ginger, and orange juice). In the morning, dump the contents into an empty crockpot and add the vegetables on top.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, high for 3-4, or until meat is fully cooked and super tender. Serve over rice with the juices left in the crockpot.

Keep your fingers crossed for him. He loves performing with this group and it doesn't hurt on the college applications!
