Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef against the grain into strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to make the teriyaki marinade.

Step 3

Place the beef strips in a large bowl or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the beef. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later. Cover and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the pan.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and add the beef strips to the hot skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, searing each strip for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the cooked beef and set aside.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add the reserved marinade to the skillet. Bring the marinade to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Toss to coat the beef evenly with the teriyaki sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil over the beef and give it a final mix.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the teriyaki beef to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or your preferred sides. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free teriyaki beef!
