Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
• 2 tsp Arrowroot powder
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Avocado or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef into strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and monk fruit sweetener. This will be your sugar-free teriyaki sauce.

Step 3

In a small separate bowl, mix arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add avocado or vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the arrowroot slurry to the teriyaki sauce and stir well until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss in the thickened sauce until evenly coated. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the beef through.

Step 9

Serve the sugar-free teriyaki beef over cooked cauliflower rice, steamed broccoli, or your favorite low-carb side dish.

Step 10

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy!
