Citrus Beef Salad

It smelled and tasted just like Pei Wei (faster food version of PF Changs).
* I figured I had better start adding pictures to prove I made it!


**smallest children (Ryder 4, Charlotte 1) would only most likely eat the meat and fruit so that's all I gave them. The big kids like lettuce and spinach. Seriously, I just never made it an option when the were little. We would cause a scene at McDonald's because those two ordered salads! These next two...not so much. Charlotte wakes up and asks for a "doc dog" and Ryder would live on frozen waffles or Gogurt. Anyway, it was a logical and fair enough dinner that everyone can eat!

Ingredients:
coconut oil
1 lb tender beef cut into thin strips;
1 sliced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp ginger (I use powdered)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp orange juice
Bunch of spinach
1 lemon, segmented
1 orange, segmented

Stir-fry the beef with coconut oil. Remove the beef from the wok or pan, make sure the wok regains its temperature, add more coconut oil and stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic for about 3 minutes. Return the beef to the wok and add the orange and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and add the bunch of spinach. Cook until just wilted. Throw in chopped up orange and lemon (chop lemon really little or it's too sour) Serve on a bed lettuce, left over spinach..

Would I make this again? YES
