Beef and Green BeanS Stir-fry

This Beef and Beans Stir-Fry recipe is spot on. Simple yet so flavorful because of its light savory sauce and crisp-tender green beans. Perfect to serve with freshly cooked steamed rice. 
I used organic lean ground beef for this recipe but you can use any kind. You can even change the meat to ground pork or turkey if you like but I love Costco's organic ground beef. It's so tasty.
