Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons Arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 cups Broccoli florets (optional, for serving)
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to form the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together arrowroot powder and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef slices to the skillet, cooking until they are browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Once all the beef is cooked, return it to the skillet and pour in the reserved teriyaki marinade.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the arrowroot slurry to thicken the sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is glossy and coats the beef.

Step 8

Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve with steamed broccoli and cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
