Method

1. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then toss with the sesame oil, coconut aminos, ginger, and garlic. Marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Heat a skillet over high heat. Lift the beef out of the marinade and sear for 1–2 minutes per side, until browned.
3. Add the romaine, carrot, cucumber, and green onion to a bowl.
4. Whisk the rice vinegar into the leftover marinade.
5. Top the salad with the beef, drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
