Two days later and my family is still talking about this dish. Who needs take-out, when you can make such a fresh and tasty version of this Chinese style recipe at home? The beef is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, and pairs together beautifully with the mixture of sweet orange juice and balsamic vinegar. My family couldn’t get enough of it. The taste is sweet and savory and oh so good.
Crispy Orange Beef with Broccoli
This delicious dish has the added bonus of being gluten free!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced

- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon no soy-soy sauce

Directions
- Drain beef strips in a single layer on dish lined with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut palm sugar, garlic powder, ginger, vinegar, orange juice, and no soy-soy sauce. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat. {I used a couple tablespoons at a time, adding more oil as needed}
- Toss dried beef in arrowroot powder to coat.
- Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside.
- Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.

- Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash noodles , with broccoli on the side.

I am hungry! Your crispy orange beef looks delicious. I am a big fan of Asian food, but I can't handle the MSG. This recipe is a perfect alternative for me.
I cant handle MSG either Christina, hope you like the recipe when you try it!
