Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs top sirloin (thinly sliced (you can ask the butcher to do this for you)
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • ⅓ cup coconut vinegar
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • ¼ arrowroot flour
  • 1.5 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp dry ginger
  • 1 cup coconut oil, melted
Caulirice Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, riced
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1- inch piece fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut vinegar
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • ⅛ sea salt
Instructions
FOR BEEF
  1. Mix vinegar, orange juice, coconut aminos, orange zest, ginger, garlic and sugar in small bowl; set aside.
  2. Use a paper towel to pat the beef strips dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss beef strips with arrowroot flour until beef is thoroughly coated.
  4. In a wok or deep skillet, heat coconut oil until melted.
  5. While coconut oil is melting, transfer sauce mixture to small saucepan and heat on medium-high heat; bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes or until syrupy and thick.
  6. While sauce is simmering, lay beef strips in oil until both sides are golden brown and "fried"; once fried, set beef aside and drain all oil from pan.
  7. Once sauce is syrupy and thick, add beef strips back to skillet and pour sauce over beef; gently stir beef together with sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Enjoy!
FOR CAULIRICE
  1. Cut cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until "rice" consistency; set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a deep-dish skillet or wok.
  3. Add ginger to pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes or so; remove ginger from pan and throw away.
  4. Add riced cauliflower to pan and cook for about 8 minutes, or until softened.
  5. Add in remaining ingredients for "rice" and cook together for about another minute.
  6. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

TIP:
To form rice into a circle "mound", pack FIRMLY (I pack it down with a spoon or similar tool) into a shallow and wide coffee/tea cup or bowl.
Then, put plate upside-down on top of cup/bowl, and gently flip over.
Tap bottom of cup/bowl gently and lift up, revealing your perfect mound! :)
