Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the beef strips, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best results.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through to your liking.
Step 7
Remove the beef tapa from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Whole30 Beef Tapa hot, alongside cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad, for a complete Whole30 meal.
