Rice vinegar with sugar mimics mirin's sweetness and acidity.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake, while tamari is gluten-free.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola oil is often less expensive.

Place top sirloin in a Ziploc bag.

Add cornstarch to the bag with the meat and mix to coat.

In a bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, water, cornstarch, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.

Set the meat aside in the bag while preparing the sauce.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the meat, cooking until browned.

Transfer cooked meat to a bowl and add chopped green onion and garlic.

Pour the sauce into the skillet and let it heat up, stirring to prevent burning due to the sugar.

Add the cooked meat back into the skillet and mix everything together.

Sprinkle extra green onion on top before serving.

Serve the beef teriyaki over white rice.
