Marian also prepared another stir fry dish for the South Arm Cooking Club for Seniors. It is an Orange Beef Stir Fry.
This citrus beef stir fry is also another west meets east recipe. The use of oranges in stir fry is not very Chinesey.

 Marian demonstrated on how to cut out the orange segments.Buy large orange for this purpose.
First cut off the top and bottom of the oranges. always make sure the orange is sit on a flat bottom so that it will not roll when you cut into it. Then carve around the orange to remove the peel, trimming off all white pith. Make V cuts in between the membranes. The membranes will be tough to chew.
