Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by thinly slicing the beef sirloin steak into strips against the grain for tenderness.
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, pineapple juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add them to the marinade and stir well.
Combine arrowroot powder with two tablespoons of water in a small bowl and mix until fully dissolved.
Add the beef strips into the marinade, cover, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, remove the beef from the marinade and carefully place it in the skillet, discarding the marinade.
Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and just cooked through, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary).
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the beef and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the arrowroot slurry and mix until the sauce starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and fold them into the beef teriyaki.
Season with black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
