Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 400 grams cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin, 1/4-inch slices and set aside.
In a bowl, mix coconut aminos and lime juice. Mince 3 cloves of garlic and add to the bowl along with sea salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine the marinade.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the beef is marinating, slice the onion into rings. Mince the remaining garlic clove for later use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion rings and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove the onions and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Remove the beef from the marinade and add to the skillet in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove the beef and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked beef and caramelized onions back into the skillet. Toss everything together to ensure the beef and onions are well coated in the sauce.
In a separate skillet, heat the cauliflower rice over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Serve the beef and onions over the cauliflower rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
