Ginger-Lime Beef Stir-Fry

Since we are trying to cook at home more we were looking for a few more quick and easy recipes. I came across a Ginger-Lime Beef Stir-Fry and knew that would be a winner We served this with a mixed greens salad with goat cheese, grape tomatoes, goat cheese, cannellini beans and a homemade dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a bit of Dijon mustard. The beef had nice spice from the red pepper flakes and the udon noodles soaked up the sauce nicely.
