I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this stir fry. The sauce was so good that I didn't even notice the apricots. I will definitely be making this again, even though I'm not a fan of apricots.

This stir fry is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some flank steak that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The beef turned out so tender and flavorful.
