Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, erythritol, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Stir until erythritol dissolves completely.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place the slices in the skillet.
Pan-fry the beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve the keto beef tapa hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a slice of lime if desired.
