In a stir-fry pan, melt coconut oil on medium -high heat.  Stirring often, sauté garlic and red pepper flakes until golden (about 1 minute).  Add vegetables (if using frozen vegetables, cook alone until they thaw) and beef.  Stir in soy sauce, orange juice and black pepper.  Cook until beef is seared and vegetables are crisp (Typically less than 5 minutes).
