Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and then season it with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Stir to mix well.

Step 3

Place the beef in a shallow dish and pour half of the coconut amino mixture over it. Turn the beef to coat it well, then cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the beef is marinating, prepare the zesty dressing by mixing the remaining coconut amino mixture with lime juice and a tablespoon of sesame seeds in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over high heat until it begins to shimmer.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Sear the beef in the hot skillet, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes, or until a brown crust forms. The center should remain rare.

Step 7

Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible.

Step 9

Arrange the thin slices of beef on a serving platter. Drizzle the zesty lime dressing over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and the remaining sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Beef Tataki!
