Tangerine Stir-Fried Beef With Onions and Snow Peas image

This is a yummy stir-fry. The tangerine adds a very refreshing flavor to the dish. 2 to 3 oranges can be substituted for the tangerines. I serve with rice. Prep time does not include marinade time. This is adapted from Cooks Illustrated, Nov. 2007 issue. Hope you enjoy!

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was inedible. I would not recommend it.

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce was too salty and the beef was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. The sauce was too watery and the beef was a bit tough.

This dish was easy to make and it turned out really well. The tangerine sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory. The beef was tender and the vegetables were crisp.
