Orange Beef Stir-Fry with Cauliflower Rice

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Orange Beef Stir-Fry with Cauliflower Rice.

1. Step 1

   Place the beef in the freezer for about 1 hour to make it easier to slice. Once firm, thinly slice the beef against the grain.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until smooth.

3. Step 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the purple cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Then, add the sliced bell peppers and carrot, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and set aside.

4. Step 4

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the sliced beef and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the beef to the bowl with the vegetables, reserving the drippings in the skillet.

5. Step 5

   Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of orange zest to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the orange juice mixture and salt, bringing it to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Return the beef and vegetables to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook until everything is heated through.

7. Step 7

   Serve the stir-fry over steamed cauliflower rice, garnished with sliced green onions and a pinch of crushed red pepper.
