Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, water, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small dish, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to coat the slices evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors.
Drizzle sesame oil over the beef, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the low-sodium teriyaki beef warm over steamed rice or alongside sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
