Beef. The only 2 ways I’d eat it with a smile prior to this week were:
1. BK Whopper
2. Cincinnati-style chili.
I have to say that this week’s FIIF meal really threw me for a loop. I couldn’t believe it when I caught myself slinking toward the skillet for seconds, carefully selecting prime beef slices for my very own plate.
This recipe is simple, and simply good eats. Mangoes are in season for us, making this meal all the tastier, but if you can’t find a good mango, the recipe mentions that peaches or nectarines make good substitutions. Since this meal is pretty straightforward, I’ll let it speak for itself. Hope you like it!Beef and Mango Stir-fry
