Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Broccoli florets (optional, for serving)
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to form the teriyaki marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together arrowroot powder and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef slices to the skillet, cooking until they are browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once all the beef is cooked, return it to the skillet and pour in the reserved teriyaki marinade.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the arrowroot slurry to thicken the sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is glossy and coats the beef.
Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve with steamed broccoli and cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
