Citrus Soy & Honey Beef & Snap Peas
14 steps
Prep:12minCook:8min
Tangy, sweet, and bright using undiluted frozen OJ and lemonade concentrates combined with pure honey to construct a glossy honey-citrus glaze that caramelizes over the beef and snap peas during baking. This is a single serving recipe, and the snap peas can be switched out for broccoli or another stir fry mix of your choice. This can be served over rice, rice noodles, or other noodle types. I will give microwave or air fryer baking instructions for serving. As well as include freezer option
