Orange Beef Recipe

By Wendy

Healthy Chinese fast food recipes are always popular in my house. The kids love them, the husband loves them, and I love them. So, I’m often experimenting with making lighter and healthier versions of our restaurant favorites.

This Orange Beef recipe is a great one to try! The sauce is rich, fresh, and flavorful, yet still very light. If I’m making it for just me and my husband, I’ll add in some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a spicy kick.

It also works nicely with some bell pepper strips and or zucchini chunks – which is a great way to bulk it up some more, too.

Served over fresh steamed brown rice, this is one seriously satisfying meal.
