HOW TO MAKE TERIYAKI BEEF STIR FRY

Combine coco aminos or soy sauce, water, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger and set aside until it's ready to be used.

Vegetables

Blanch green beans for 2 to 4 minutes and set aside until it's time to add all the veggies to the skillet

Sear Steak

Thinly slice your steak meat, season with salt and pepper, and allow to marinade for at least 15 minutes
Place cast iron skillet or heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat, add grapeseed oil when hot, add steak meat and flip after a brown crust forms on bottom side then flip to sear the other side
Cook the steak in batches as overcrowding the pan will cause the steak to steam and not sear
Place seared steak on a clean plate and set aside until ready to use

Combine all Ingredients

In the same skillet, add the teriyaki sauce and the slurry to thicken the sauce
Add the vegetables and allow them to cook for approximately 4 minutes
Add the seared steak back to the pan
Gently stir until all ingredients are combines
Be mindful of the amount of time as you do not want the vegetables to overcook

WHAT GOES WITH TERIYAKI STEAK

Teriyaki steak can go with so many things. It really depends on your taste, diet, and lifestyle. White rice is probably the more traditional choice. However, other great options are brown rice, or Asian inspired noodles such as chow mein noodles, soba noodles, or rice noodles.

For a healthier option, cauliflower rice would be great if you're aiming for a low-carb recipe, or are Paleo or Whole30.

WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN MY STIR FRY
