Ingredients
Marinade
- ½ c brown or coconut sugar, packed
- ½ c coconut aminos, (or ½ cup soy sauce + ½ cup water)
- ⅓ heaping c toasted sesame oil
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- ⅓ c garlic chili hot sauce, or regular hot sauce will work
- 3-4 garlic cloves, micro planed
Shredded beef
- 4-5 lbs shredded beef, we buy at Trader Joe's
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the marinade.
- Add the shredded beef into the bowl and use your hands to coat the shreds with the marinade. Make sure to pull apart the layers of meat for full marinade coverage. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 12. When you’re ready to cook the meat, make sure it is room temperature.
- Preheat your grill to high. Lay meat onto grill in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes before turning—in total cook for about 8 minutes. Allow meat to char slightly for a smokey flavor and delicious caramelization.
- Remove meat from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
