Crispy Ginger Beef

We haven't tried this recipe yet but with the success of the Beef and Broccoli we made (My Mother-in-law can't get enough) I thought Ginger Beef was the natural next step.  This recipe is from Food.com and was posted by Miraklegirl.  If you like sweet, spicy, crispy....this one is for you.
