Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 ml coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips about a quarter inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, coconut sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, sea salt, and coconut vinegar.
Add the beef strips to the bowl and mix them well until all pieces are fully coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for even better flavor.
Once the marinating time is complete, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the strips are well-browned and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked beef to a serving platter. Continue cooking the remaining batches until all the beef is done.
Serve the Paleo Beef Tapa with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes like cauliflower rice or a fresh salad.
Garnish with extra freshly ground black pepper or fresh herbs if desired before serving.
