This crispy orange beef recipe is so delicious that you’ll throw out your take-out menu and make this all the time instead! The orange beef is so flavorful that everyone will beg for seconds.
We love our take-out favorites but I like to make resturant recipes at home more often because I can easily control the ingredients. Right now, this crispy orange beef recipe is one of our absolute favorite copycat restaurant recipes!
One thing we always try to do is make sure our meals have plenty of vegetables even if we are making a copycat restaurant recipes. I am totally in love with Green Giant Riced Veggies because they allow us to eat more vegetables and still enjoy some of our favorite recipes. I pair the Green Giant Riced broccoli with this orange beef.
Green Giant riced veggies are the perfect substitute for white rice and have 85% fewer calories than the leading brand of white rice. The riced veggies come without any sauces or seasonings so you can pair them with all of your favorite recipes.
One of the key parts of making this crispy orange beef recipe is to freeze the beef for a short period of time before you cook it.
Why should you freeze the beef before frying it? The freezer will dry out the surface moisture on the beef and help to get it crispier when cooking.
While you are cooking the beef, it is so easy to get the Green Giant riced veggies ready. They microwave in the package and go from freezer to table in just 6 minutes.
