Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or another cooking oil)
- 2 Scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce base.
3. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
4. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce base into the same skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
6. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Add the cooked beef back into the skillet and toss it in the thickened teriyaki sauce to coat evenly. Drizzle with sesame oil at the end for added flavor.
8. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve over steamed rice or alongside vegetables for a complete meal.
