Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 tbsp Fresh orange juice
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tbsp Raw honey
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Cooking fat (such as avocado oil or coconut oil)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. This will be used later to thicken the sauce.
Heat the sesame oil and cooking fat in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. If needed, cook the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Transfer the cooked beef onto a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Slowly stir in the arrowroot slurry, allowing the sauce to thicken while stirring constantly. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to ensure it is evenly coated. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite Paleo sides such as cauliflower rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
