Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce, low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (thickening agent)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 2 inches long and roughly 1/4-inch thick, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, monk fruit sweetener, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and xanthan gum until fully combined. This will be the keto-friendly teriyaki sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds.
Add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the beef to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the keto teriyaki beef to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately. Optionally, pair with steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete keto-friendly meal.
