Shortly after adopting a ketogenic lifestyle I realized my love affair with Chinese food was over. If I wanted the relationship to continue, I was going to have to figure out how to make keto Chinese food. And that is what I did, friends. This orange ginger keto beef stir fry is better than takeout!

keto chinese food
What is your go-to Chinese food order? When I was a kid, my mom would always order a bunch of different dishes and we’d each eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
When I married my husband, he was not privy to this Chinese food habit of mine. So when he saw how much I ordered us, and then I proceeded to take some of his meal, his eyes got real big!
It was one of those early marriage learning lesson moments! Haha!
Obviously, we don’t order Chinese food anymore now that we follow a ketogenic diet. Sad face.
I really wish a keto Chinese food restaurant would open but that probably won’t ever happen unless I do it myself. Hmm…new biz opportunity?
I digress.
When we get a hankering for keto Chinese food, it’s up to me to make it happen. (I’m the only cook in the family)
I actually have several other keto take-out recipes on the blog! Have you tried any of them yet? (Spoiler: I have even more coming in my cookbook!)

make your own keto beef stir fry
This low carb take-out recipe is crazy easy! The hardest part is waiting for it to marinate in the fridge before you get to cookin’.
The marinade and sauce are sweet with fresh notes of garlic and ginger. There’s no need to buy a jar of marinade when you can make your own.
Theoretically, you could make this keto beef stir fry in one skillet if you really wanted to! Personally, I like to make the sauce in it’s own sauce pan to maintain the integrity of the flavors but you’re the master of your kitchen!
If you have a wok, this would be the perfect dish to use it! I actually don’t own a wok, crazy right? It might be time to change that!
Once you’ve marinated your meat and prepped your veggies, this keto beef stir fry cooks up really quickly! I like to use avocado oil to fry my beef but by all means, use whichever oil (that has a high smoke point) you prefer.
complete the meal
This low carb orange ginger beef stir fry pairs really well with a simple fried cauliflower rice. Or for a different kind of side, you could make my famous keto lo mein!
You could also do a veggie stir fry to go along with this keto beef stir fry. I like to cook zucchini, mushrooms, and onions whenever I’m stir frying vegetables.
Easy keto beef stir fry with peppers in an orange ginger sauce. Low fat, low calorie, and low carbs makes for a lean keto chinese food recipe. Make sure your beef is in small pieces. Trim any large pieces down to insure even cooking. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

![I know what you’re thinking, “did she post a bowl of beans?” Why yes, I did! 😏 I’m starting a new monthly series on my blog where I plan to share one of my [non-keto] heirloom recipes each month. I wanted to do this for a few reasons. 1️⃣I love cooking and photographing food! 2️⃣I love the stories that go along with old handwritten recipe cards. 3️⃣Sometimes we want/need to feed people who don’t eat like we do (or maybe we want a special treat). 4️⃣ Anytime I share recipes like these in my stories, many folks ask for a reference at a later date than I can’t provide because they’re not on my blog! 5️⃣Because if there’s anything that brings people together, it’s a table with good food! All of the reasons why I began blogging in the first place!🥰
I kicked off this series with my recipe for these delicious southern pinto beans. Soup beans, or southern pinto beans, are the perfect way to use up a leftover hamhock. This blog post will walk you through making the best ham and bean soup using your Instant Pot. If you’ve never cooked dry beans before, fear not, this post is just for you!
