Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tbsp Maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, water, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In a separate small dish, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to coat the slices evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Drizzle sesame oil over the beef, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve the low-sodium teriyaki beef warm over steamed rice or alongside sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
