Ingredients

12 ounces boneless beef top sirloin steak
2 oranges, zested and juiced, divided
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small head purple cauliflower, cut into florets
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced diagonally
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups steamed cauliflower rice
4 green onions, sliced diagonally
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Freeze beef to make it easier to slice, about 1 hour. Thinly slice.
Whisk 1/2 cup orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and carrot; cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
Heat remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with vegetables, reserving drippings in the skillet.
Add ginger, garlic, and 2 teaspoons orange zest to the skillet; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add orange juice mixture and salt. Bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beef and vegetables to coat; cook until heated through. Serve over cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions and crushed red pepper.
