Directions
1
Freeze beef to make it easier to slice, about 1 hour. Thinly slice.
2
Whisk 1/2 cup orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
