Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain into pieces about 1/8-inch thick. Place the slices in a large bowl.
Finely mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, white parts of the green onions, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, erythritol, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and coconut aminos to make your marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef slices, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the cooked beef to a serving dish and garnish with the green tops of the chopped green onions.
Serve hot, alongside a keto-friendly side like sautéed greens or cauliflower rice.
