Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lb sirloin steak (or ribeye, strip steak, or tenderloin)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or your favorite cooking oil)
- For garnish: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions (omit sesame seeds for AIP)
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil (or olive oil for AIP)
- 4 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 pitted medjool date (or 2 tsp maple syrup for non-Whole30)

Instructions
- Cut the steak into 1 inch cubes or bite-sized pieces and place in a resealable bag.
- Place all ingredients for the marinade in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the steak in the bag, seal, and massage the steak to coat evenly.
- Place the marinated steak in the fridge to rest for 120 minutes to overnight.
- Remove from the fridge and drain the steak. Discard the marinade.
- Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
