Teriyaki Beef on a Stick

Ingredients:

1 lb lean beef, cut into strips or cubes
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp avocado oil (or other light oil)
2 TB gluten free soy sauce (tamari) or regular soy sauce
2 TB unseasoned (sugar free) rice wine vinegar
2 TB erythritol granulated sweetener or use the equivalent of your favorite artificial sweetener

Combine sesame oil, avocado oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sweetener in a medium bowl.

Add the beef pieces and stir to coat.

Marinate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours.

Remove beef from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.

Preheat the grill if using.

Divide the meat into four portions (reserve the marinade) and thread onto four skewers along with optional pieces of green onion.

Grill beef skewers over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side or until done to your liking.

Cook the remaining marinade in the microwave for 2 minutes, or in a small saucepan for about 5 minutes until fully cooked.

Pour sauce over skewers before serving with sesame seeds as garnish if desired.
