Beef Fried Rice

I made this with orange-pork stir-fry last night and they were delicious separate and together!  This is a very easy recipe, and makes plenty of rice (6 servings)!  I honestly wouldn't change a thing about the recipe!  Although I omitted the red pepper sauce because I couldn't find it and it was still awesome!
