Orange Vegetable Beef Stir-Fry pairs tender slices of sirloin with crisp cauliflower, bell peppers, and carrot in a bright, lightly sweet sauce sparked by fresh ginger and garlic.

1

Freeze the beef for about 1 hour to make slicing easier. Thinly slice it.
2

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch.
3

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and the carrot; cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer everything to a bowl.
4

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring often, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer it to the bowl with the vegetables, keeping the drippings in the skillet.
5

Add the ginger, the garlic, and 2 teaspoons orange zest to the skillet and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the orange juice mixture and the salt. Bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beef and vegetables to coat; cook until heated through. Serve over cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions and crushed red pepper.
