Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin or tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 whole green onions, thinly sliced
- 100 grams white radish (daikon), thinly sliced

Instructions
Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Season all sides with sea salt and black pepper.
In a heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over high heat until smoking hot.
Sear the beef on each side for about 1-2 minutes, until each side is browned but the center remains rare.
Remove the beef from the skillet and immediately place it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the beef is resting, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl; mix well.
After cooling, slice the beef thinly across the grain.
Arrange the beef slices on a serving platter. Top with thinly sliced green onions, white radish, and cucumber.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish for garnish and a touch of flavor.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light main course, perfect for those following a Keto diet.
