Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or another cooking oil)
• 2 Scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki sauce base.

Step 3

3. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.

Step 4

4. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

5. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce base into the same skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

6. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

7. Add the cooked beef back into the skillet and toss it in the thickened teriyaki sauce to coat evenly. Drizzle with sesame oil at the end for added flavor.

Step 8

8. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve over steamed rice or alongside vegetables for a complete meal.
