Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper to create the sauce.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan, and cook until browned on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture into the same skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Return the cooked beef strips to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the thickened sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Season the beef strips with salt to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as rice or steamed vegetables.
