Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (Whole30-compliant)
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 1 tsp Arrowroot powder
• 1 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 Scallions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, pineapple juice, and rice vinegar.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger, then stir them into the sauce mixture.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Stir the arrowroot slurry into the sauce and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the beef is fully warmed through.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
