I LOVE beef teriyaki, but most teriyaki sauces are loaded with sugar and who knows what else.
So I set out to create a healthy version of a familiar favourite.
This BluePhoenix Beef Teriyaki is gluten-free and the only sugar is a little bit of raw honey.
It’s also adaptable depending on your eating preferences. If you prefer low-carb, serve this on it’s own or with cauliflower rice. If you prefer a moderate-high carb meal you can serve this with white, basmati, or jasmine rice.
Either way it’s very simple, uses real food, and tastes amazing!
