Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin steak
• 0.5 cup coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by thinly slicing the beef sirloin steak into strips against the grain for tenderness.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, pineapple juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add them to the marinade and stir well.

Step 4

Combine arrowroot powder with two tablespoons of water in a small bowl and mix until fully dissolved.

Step 5

Add the beef strips into the marinade, cover, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once hot, remove the beef from the marinade and carefully place it in the skillet, discarding the marinade.

Step 8

Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and just cooked through, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary).

Step 9

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the beef and bring it to a simmer.

Step 10

Stir in the arrowroot slurry and mix until the sauce starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds and fold them into the beef teriyaki.

Step 12

Season with black pepper to taste.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
