Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all the slices are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the beef until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinade from the bowl and bring it to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering marinade, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef slices to the skillet, tossing them in the thickened teriyaki sauce until well-coated and heated through.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve the low sodium beef teriyaki with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or brown rice.
