Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Pour the marinade over the beef strips, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best results.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through to your liking.
Remove the beef tapa from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Whole30 Beef Tapa hot, alongside cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad, for a complete Whole30 meal.
