Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all the slices are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the beef until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinade from the bowl and bring it to a simmer.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering marinade, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked beef slices to the skillet, tossing them in the thickened teriyaki sauce until well-coated and heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the low sodium beef teriyaki with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or brown rice.
