Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
- 2 tsp Arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Avocado or vegetable oil
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef into strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and monk fruit sweetener. This will be your sugar-free teriyaki sauce.
In a small separate bowl, mix arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add avocado or vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the arrowroot slurry to the teriyaki sauce and stir well until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss in the thickened sauce until evenly coated. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the beef through.
Serve the sugar-free teriyaki beef over cooked cauliflower rice, steamed broccoli, or your favorite low-carb side dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy!
